Partnership respond to the Council’s intention to withdraw

April 2, 2025

Chair provides statement from the Community Partnership.

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has announced the intention to withdraw from the Community Partnership.

Members of the Community Partnership held a meeting and recognised that, subject to pre-election period guidance, it has a continuing responsibility to facilitate dialogue between the community, Nuclear Waste Services and LCC on all matters relating to the search for a site for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF).

The Partnership recognises that people in the Search Area should have their questions answered on the short and long-term implications of a GDF and that there should ultimately be a fair, robust, and credible test of public opinion.  It recognises the situation both councils are in and accepts that the decision to withdraw must be a formal decision taken at a meeting of the county council’s Executive. 

In the circumstances, the Partnership will continue to discharge its responsibilities and looks forward to further developments in the post-election period.
