The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to support economic growth in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

The government’s focus is in making Britain better off. There is excellence right across the country and this government is backing it: lifting living standards and putting more money in people’s pockets.

The Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority have been awarded £155m through the Local Transport Grant enabling the local authority to deliver transport improvements including bus lanes, cycleways and congestion improvement.

Autumn Budget 2025 meant GLCCA benefited from coverage under the Local Growth Fund. GLCCA also benefited from a brownfield housing allocation over the SR period of £34m, and will benefit from visitor levy powers.
