The Lindsey Oil Refinery’s future is once again attracting attention as the Official Receiver advances plans to offload parts of the site or some of its assets. Local politicians indicate that there is sustained significant interest in procuring the complete site, which has had a substantial role in the local economy. Nevertheless, it has been made clear by a Government spokesperson that the independent Official Receiver is presently centred on obtaining reliable bids for a partial sale. This decision arises at a time of ongoing evolution in the energy sector, which could have impacts on employment and economic activity in Lincolnshire. Stakeholders are closely observing how this development may affect the regional job market and prospective industrial opportunities.
