The role I play for you at ELDC
Full Council
There are 60 Councillors on East Lindsey District Council and we meet to decide the Council’s overall policies.
Planning Committee
I am privileged to be a member of this Committee. I am very aware that decisions made by the Planning Committee can have a profound effect on residents’ lives. I always try to make well informed decisions that I can justify.
Planning Policy Committee
Planning policy nationally is currently in a process of change and it is vital that communities participate in this review. The formulation of the Local Development Framework will outline how planning will be managed in our communities. It is crucial that we are involved in the creation of this framework.
I am very aware of how local planning issues affect residents and I enjoy working on this committee, hopefully making a positive contribution to the development framework.
