Grantham has retained a seat at the top table of Lincolnshire County Council.

After the elections last week, the Conservative-led administration of Lincolnshire County Council has announced its new Executive and their responsibilities for the next four years in office.

Among its executive, Grantham West county councillor Richard Davies retains his role as Executive Members for Highways, Transportation and IT.

On Thursday, Coun Hill and his fellow Conservatives were returned to Lincolnshire County Council, with a large majority, and the party winning 54 seats out of 70, the same they went into the election with.

Council leader, Coun Martin Hill, said: "I'm pleased to announce the make-up of the new Executive and the councillors who will be leading the services we provide for the people of Lincolnshire.

"We have a very strong manifesto which is about keeping council tax low, providing good quality services, and also supporting an ambitious programme of building and development – not only roads but also schools and broadband.

"During the election period there was a very strong message from the public that they continue to be concerned with potholes and fly-tipping, so we will be targeting these areas with more support. And we'll continue to provide strong, effective support for our most vulnerable residents of all ages where it is needed.

"We'll also be campaigning to secure more funding for the authority. It's essential we get a fairer deal from government to help us fund the services people deserve.

"I'm very pleased the hard work of candidates and Conservative councillors of the past four years has been recognised and rewarded and I look forward to the next four years.

"I'm confident the council will serve the public of this county as best it can."
