A misconduct hearing will be held next week
Around 87% of parish and town council wards have gone uncontested in this year’s local elections in what leaders believe is a “growing crisis” for local democracy.
Out of 429 wards across Lincolnshire – including both parish and town councils – just 38 have been contested by candidates of different affiliations, around 9%.Around 5% of wards received no nominations at all, meaning they will face either a further election later in the year or councillors may be co-opted onto the authority.
She said there were a number of causes, including a lack of awareness around parish councils and local government, a drop in the number of volunteers and those available for community involvement following the COVID-19 pandemic, the cost of living crisis and the poor state of the economy. She suggested the number of parish wards needed reconsidering due to moving populations. For example, Skegness now has one councillor per 1000 residents, while some smaller parishes had one councillor per 50 or 60 residents.
