Not every voter will get a say in the local elections
A surprising number of Lincolnshire voters won’t get a say in the local elections this year.
And in West Lindsey, a Conservative councillor will take the Kelsey Wold ward because of the lack of competition.asked some of those automatic councillors for their views whether this is good for democracy. Councillor Ashton said, however, that if there had been a choice he would “always prefer” to have a challenger which would give him “the opportunity to engage with residents and voters”.
Leader of the Lincolnshire Independents Councillor Marianne Overton will be elected unopposed to the Navenby and Brant Broughton ward in North Kesteven District Council. She felt independent candidates could do well nationally due to government driving policies through that Lincolnshire constituents did not think were acceptable, including cuts to police funding for things like Police Community Support Officers and moves towards devolved governments over larger constituencies.Liberal Democrat Councillor Fiona Martin believed it was the first time in 40 years that she took one of Horncastle’s three seats uncontested.
She said there might be a general disinterest in local government, as well as the impact of the Cost of Living Crisis meaning people were too busy dealing with other things.She said she continued to get daily communications from residents and would carry on doing the job.
