Local Councils – Who do I contact?

Spilsby and the surrounding areas are part of a three tier local government arrangement. This consists of Spilsby Town Council (or other local Parish Council if outside of Spilsby), East Lindsey District Council and Lincolnshire County Council.

Each council has it’s own unique roles and responsibilities and it is important that if you wish to contact a council about a matter you contact the correct one.  By ensuring that you contact the correct body it will ensure that your query is dealt with in a speedy manner.
