FC25/040 Council Deputy Leader
To appoint a Deputy Leader of the Council.
FC25/041 Motion
To receive motion from Councillor Coxon.
I have spoken with Cllr Trevor Yong at WLDC about community skips. He said the idea works but across the county it has been led by parish Council and I would like talk about bringing community skips to Gainsborough.
Did you know it cost Lincolnshire fire and rescue £67,000 last year to put out fly tipped rubbish in Gainsborough.
I’m thinking if we use the dual carriage way to spit the town in half, then Middlefield Lane and The Avenue to spit again, you then have 4 areas, and we could put 15 skips in each area at £280 each but do it over the year and 15 skips each quarter.

Exclusion of public and press recommended due to time sensitive commercial sensitivity.
