This estimate of economic impact means that the value of the Third Sector in Lincolnshire is greater than the Hotels and Restaurants sector, and approximately 27% the size of the wholesale and retail sector. This and additional key information is available in the recently published report -The Economic Significance of the Third Sector in Lincolnshire. The full report and an Executive Summary are available on Lincolnshire County Council's website - www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/healthycommunities but for further information please contact Bev Finnegan, Healthy Communities, Lincolnshire County Council on 01522 550 516

Lincoln East West Link Road- We Need Your Views
Lincolnshire County Council is working in partnership with the City of Lincoln, North Kesteven District and West Lindsey District Councils on this issue.
The East-West Link road is part of the joint vision to make Lincoln and the surrounding communities a better place to work and live and to encourage growth and regeneration.
The East-West Link forms part of a wider Lincoln Transport strategy and is also part of the City Centre Masterplan. It is a significant element of these ambitions, as it will improve transport links across the City, reduce traffic congestion, noise and vibration, whilst allowing the continued improvement of, and commitment to, public transport, walking and cycling.
If you wish to contact us for further information please call our customer service centre on (01522) 782070. Alternatively you can visit our website at: www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/ewl
