The Conservative Party suffered significant losses in the local elections last week, but the leadership of Lincolnshire County Council are confident they can retain control
Lincolnshire's Conservative Party leaders appeared to take aim at Nottingham City Council , while expressing confidence in retaining control of Lincolnshire County Council during next year's election, despite the fallout from last week's local electoral losses.
"In government, what normally happens is if your party is in government, there tends to be a reaction against that in the local election, and I think that played out very much so," said Cllr Hill. "I'm quite confident because we as Conservatives in Lincolnshire have a very strong record to uphold. The county council has been excellently managed, our council tax is one of the lowest in the country, and our services are among the best.
He said: "I think the message will be very clear to people. This is a well-managed council, Martin has been an exceptional leader of this council for many years.
