Here is my monthly SKDC District Council report.

Deepings Library
Thank you for your support over the last two and a half years. It is fantastic news that, after all the threats and shenanigans of the Tories at LCC, we are able to re-open a refurbished library with paid staff and adequate materials. All residents are welcome to attend the official opening by Jonathan Foyle at 10am on Saturday 30^th January.

Wildlife
As mentioned last month, Cllr Broughton, Cllr Neilson and I are hoping to persuade SKDC to leave a 10m strip of grass at the top of Tattershall Drive to grow ‘wild’ to encourage wildlife. We would also like the Town Council to support our request for a tidy ‘horseshoe’ of long grass around one of the trees which would also provide a place for youngsters to play.

Boundary Changes
I attended last week’s MDTC Planning and Highways to listen to concerns about the proposed LGBCE boundary changes for County Council wards. Please find attached a representation that I have drafted as a result. I hope the Town Council will be able to support the alternative wards proposal therein.

Meetings
I plan to attend a Communities PDG on Thursday 14^th Jan and SKDC Full Council on Thursday 21^st Jan.

Happy New Year!
