A review is set to be carried out into council electoral boundaries in North Kesteven.
The Local Government Electoral Boundary Commission will consult with local people on the future of council wards in the region.
The consultation will be the first part of the review which will look at changes in boundary patterns at North Kesteven District Council.
However, the commission announced that the number of council seats in the region should remain at 43.

Professor Colin Mellors, Chair of the Commission, said the organisation will consider all evidence “carefully”.
“We are asking local people and organisations to help us draw up new wards for North Kesteven,” he said.
“As we develop the recommendations, we will take into account local community identities as well as ensuring electoral equality for voters.
“If you have a view about which communities or neighbourhoods should be part of the same council ward, then we want to hear from you.
“And if you think a road, river or railway makes for a strong boundary between communities in your part of North Kesteven, then this consultation is for you.”
Local people have until March 16, 2020, to submit their views on the review.
The commission will publish its draft recommendations on boundary changes in June.

In the world of art, where creativity knows no bounds, chainsaw wood sculpting stands out as a thrilling blend of danger and beauty. Imagine wielding a roaring chainsaw, not to fell trees, but to carve them into stunning works of art. This is not your average hobby; it’s an adrenaline-fueled artistic adventure that dates back to the 1950s.
Chainsaw sculpting transforms ordinary wood into extraordinary masterpieces, pushing the limits of what’s possible with a tool more commonly associated with lumberjacking. But this is no rough-and-tumble trade; it’s a craft requiring precision, skill, and a steady hand, where the risk only heightens the allure.
Local businesses often face a range of challenges, yet some family-owned firms in LIncolnshire have not only survived, but thrived for over a century.
These include the Lincoln-based Witham Group, a major lubricant manufacturer and paint supplier in the UK, and White & Sentance, a notable piano business in Sleaford. We spoke to both firms about the secret to longevity.
