It's been revealed that North East Lincolnshire Council has voted in favour of becoming part of a Greater Lincolnshire Authority. 

If the plans are approved then more decisions would be made locally rather than by politicians in London.

The 30-5 vote in favour of devolution came at a meeting last night.

Later today Lincolnshire county councillors will vote on whether they want to be a part of a Greater Lincolnshire Authority.
