Councillor Colin Davie, Lincolnshire County Council’s economy and environment portfolio holder, has told a meeting of the Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee that "at least one location in Lincolnshire" could take on the facility.

The GBR is being created as part of a series of reforms by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and aims to be "a single guiding mind that ends the fragmentation of the rail industry".

It forms part of the government’s Levelling Up White Paper and plans to decentralise a number of government organisations away from London.

In February, Mr Shapps launched a competition to find the new home for the organisation, saying it "will be based outside of London and bring a number of high-skilled jobs to the winning location".

Following the meeting, Councillor Davie told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the council was going through the assessment form and at least two locations in the county could play host.

He said he did not think it would lead to an immediate increase in train services for the county, but it would bring national attention and cement the government’s promises to level up the area.

"We are very clear we want government to invest some of its facilities into our county because that is how you level up – getting people out of London and the regions governed by London – so they can understand better what it’s like for people like us to live in places like Lincolnshire," he said.
