A Reform councillor has raised concerns that the proposed reductions to the police force in Lincolnshire could lead to an increase in illegality across the county. Given that the rate of crime is already a pressing concern for local communities, the councillor strongly encouraged officials to contemplate the potential repercussions of a diminished police presence. This warning surfaces amidst wider discussions about budget distributions and the necessity of ensuring public safety in both city and country areas of Lincolnshire.
