Local political figures in Lincolnshire have expressed apprehension that a shift to larger, unitary authorities may discourage young individuals from undertaking political careers. There are proposals to make local government more efficient by reducing the quantity of councillors, leading to potential increases in workload for those who remain. This transformation, figures suggest, might deter younger people, who may already be reluctant to partake in civic roles, from their political ambitions. These potential shifts have ignited discussions on how to maintain a balance of efficiency while promoting fresh and diverse voices in Lincolnshire’s political scene.
