  12. Lincolnshire council tax hike gets go-aheadpublished at 15:00 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2019

    A council tax rise of £60 per household in Lincolnshire's been approved by councillors.

    Council

    This is £61 on top of what the county council already takes.

    The Conservative administration says it needs to convince the government to give it more funding if it's to avoid further large rises in future years.

    Labour argues the council has more than £200m in reserves lying in 100 bank accounts.

    This tax rise, together with others planned by the police and district councils, will add about 90-pounds to Band D bills, taking those bills to about £1,800 a year.

    The Coffee Aroma cafe held several events as a trial last summer which involved closing a road in the city centre.

    But this time, the owner says he's met with too many requirements from various authorities for more events to be put on.

    Those include paying for extra door staff, barriers and applying for road closures, he says.

    We therefore have no choice but to leave the street to the drunkards, druggies and drop-outs that make Lincoln such a welcoming place for tourists, students and locals alike. We love Lincoln and wanted to offer an enjoyable, social alternative to binge drinking."
