Training courses are available to book via the portal (login required)

The Training Bulletin is issued monthly, and courses are available to book via the portal. If there is any specific training which you feel would be valuable, and we don’t currently offer it, please let us know and we will investigate. The Training Bulletin can be found on the LALC website.

Clerks – when booking training for your councillors, please ensure that their email address is correct. If not, they will not receive the booking confirmation or any joining instructions. If you have set up your councillors on the LALC portal, you will be able to select their correct email address from a drop-down list when booking the training.

If you update your council email and are already booked on training, please let us know so that we can update your booking to ensure you receive the automatic reminders.

If one of your councillors resigns, and they were booked on LALC training, please cancel their place, so that others can book on. Failure to do so may not only deprive other councils from attending but could result in a non-attendance charge (see below).  

Please note our training cancellation policy:

  • For part day courses – please ensure we receive cancellations at least 48 hours in advance

  • For full day events – please ensure we receive cancellations at least 5 working days in advance, as we need to pre-order and pay for lunches

Due to persistent non-attendance at booked events, it is unfortunate that LALC have had to amend the way we impose our cancellation fees. All members are charged 50% of the training cost when insufficient notice is received (as above) for non-attendance at training events. No shows will be charged at 100% of the course fee. All charges are regardless of whether the council is a member of the ATS or not.

Lincolnshire Show 2026

The Lincolnshire Show 2026 takes place on Wednesday and Thursday 17 Jun 2026, 08:00 – 18 Jun 2026, 19:00.  

LALC had a marquee at the Show in 2025 and is considering its plans for 2026 if there is enough interest from member councils to support it.  

If any Parish or Town Council in Lincolnshire might be interested in having a stand within a LALC marquee we would like to hear from you.  

Likely commitment is expected to be a fee of £300-£500 (amount to be confirmed) and one or two persons to be present over the two days to man their stand.  Each stand will probably need a display, leaflets and free gifts / prizes to give away.  Set up must be completed on site Tuesday 16th June 2026 during the day.  Exit from the site can take place after 7pm on Thursday 18th June. The fee would include entry fee for up to two persons per day to the show.

Early notice is being given in case you need to include this in your budgets and also LALC need to consider if the event is feasible early in 2026 when we finalise orders/booking. 

If interested, please get in touch by email: enquiries@lalc.co.uk

Lincolnshire County Council Budget 2026-27 consultation

Lincolnshire County Council’s executive met to agree initial budget proposals for the authority, that include millions of pounds of savings and reducing the council’s future debt and borrowing.

At this stage, the council’s budget can be balanced with these savings and by increasing the county council’s element of council tax by 4.99%. However, other options for lower council tax rises are being considered and a decision will be taken following your feedback.

The budget proposal considers three scenarios for 2026/27:

  • Scenario 1 (4.99%, balanced budget in 2026/27)

  • Scenario 2 (4.49%, deficit position of £2m in 2026/27)

  • Scenario 3 (3.99%, deficit position of £4m in 2026/27)

What do you and your council think? Share your thoughts before 5pm on 27 January 2026:

  • Write to Financial Services, Lincolnshire County Council, County Offices, Newland, Lincoln. LN1 1YL

We’ll share your feedback with the Executive on 3 February where they will consider the final budget for recommendation to the Council meeting on 20 February 2026.

SLCC: Planning and Infrastructure Bill Now in Force

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill came into force on 18th December 2025.

A key part of the government’s reforms aimed at modernising the planning system and infrastructure in England, some of the key measures the Bill contains are:

  • accelerating the delivery of major infrastructure projects such as new reservoirs, roads, and electricity infrastructure, including through changes to the nationally significant infrastructure projects process

  • enabling electricity bill discounts of up to £2,500 over ten years for communities affected by new pylons and transmission infrastructure

  • a new system for developers to offset environmental impacts

  • making it easier for bodies, including town and parish councils, to acquire land through compulsory purchase orders

  • streamlining the approval process for new electrical vehicle charging points on roads

It also enables the government to introduce regulations on the size of local authority planning committees and requiring their members to undertake mandatory training as well as introducing a national scheme of delegation for determining planning applications.

More information about the Bill and its contents can be found here.

PKF Littlejohn feedback on the 2024-24 audit

PKF Littlejohn have provided their feedback on the 2024-2025 limited assurance reviews. 

Insufficient explanation of variances remains the most common reason for queries being raised with the clerks. Each year’s files are stand alone and, as per the Practitioners’ Guide, the smaller authority needs to be able to demonstrate that it understands the reason for the year on year variance. Please see extract below:

2.37. Authorities need to understand the changes in income and expenditure from year to year and their significance. The RFO needs to produce an explanation of significant variances in annual levels of income, expenditure and balances shown in Section 2 of the Annual Governance and Accountability Return that provides a sufficiently detailed and meaningful analysis and explanation of the reasons for the change.

The main issues are in relation to Box 4, staff costs and Box 9, fixed assets. It is not sufficient to just say that we paid more in wages and NI; why did the smaller authority pay more? Did the number of hours worked increase and if so by how many? Was the rate of pay increased and by how much? Were there additional members of staff and how much were they paid? Similarly, were new assets acquired and at what value? Were previously omitted items now included and if so, has the prior year figure also been restated to reflect this omission? We cannot just accept a full cashbook or payroll summary. This does not provide the ‘why’ narrative that we need.

AGARs are processed and worked on in strict date order of receipt. If the AGAR has been approved and is ready to be submitted to us, this should be done as soon as possible to ensure we contact the clerks with any questions as early as we can. If a clerk is going to be on holiday or unavailable for a period of time, it would be useful to be notified of this with the submission, and an alternative contact provided if appropriate.

Intermediate testing – a reminder that it applies to all smaller authorities that have income or expenditure over £200k but also an additional random sample of 5% of smaller authorities that would otherwise only be subject to a basic review based on their income and expenditure levels. The evidence that we request changes each year as the assertions are tested on a cyclical basis. We only need to receive the evidence requested for the assertion/s we have selected to test. This should not be an additional burden to the clerks as we are only requesting evidence to be submitted to us that should already be being produced as part of the smaller authority’s procedures; it should not be being produced purely for the purpose of the limited assurance review.

Any prior year ‘other matters’ and ‘except for’ matters should be actioned as appropriate. If it requires a change to a figure reported that appears as a comparative on the current year AGAR, then this needs to be reflected. Similarly, if we have suggested that we are expecting a ‘No’ response to a certain Section 1 Assertion, please provide supporting evidence if this is not the case. Failure to acknowledge and action a prior year reporting matter may lead to a further reporting matter, usually an ‘except for’ matter, in the current year report.

Email addresses. Guidelines on acceptable email address formats have been included in the Practitioners’ Guide for a number of years. However, the requirements have become more prescriptive, and compliance will be covered by Assertion 10 for the 2025/26 year end. During our limited assurance work in respect of 2023/24 and 2024/25 we noted that whilst most smaller authorities do have a compliant email address, this is not always the one that is used for correspondence. We would like to remind the clerks that it is advisable to always use an official email address for all smaller authority communications. Where it comes to our attention that a smaller authority does not have a compliant email address, we have, and will continue to, raise this as an ‘except for’ matter in our report.

Assertion 10 will be new for the 2025/26 year end. The Practitioners’ Guide includes details of what a ‘Yes’ response means and what is needed to confirm compliance. If a smaller authority has any questions or queries on this new assertion, they should reach out to their local association for further guidance and support.

Working from home allowance is a Box 6 expenditure item and should not be included in Box 4 as a staff cost. This is as set out in the Practitioners’ Guide. Please be aware of the definition of ‘staff costs’ for the purpose of the completion of the AGAR as this may vary from what may be expected. Please see the extract below from the Practitioners’ Guide:

2.16 ………The following are not staff costs for the purpose of Line 4; mileage and other travelling and subsistence allowances, “Homeworking allowance” that is, an allowance paid to cover the extra costs of working from home, the provision of work-related training, the reimbursement of childcare or other carers costs, the reimbursement of a staff members subscription to the Society of Local Council Clerks, the provision of office supplies such as laptop, scanner or stationery and consultants and agency staff. The definition of “staff costs” for the purposes of Line 4 may differ from what is, or is not, treated as taxable earnings by HMRC. In as much as this is a change of reporting basis, corresponding figures from the preceding year must be restated in a similar basis.

A reminder that where a response to an internal control objective on the Annual Internal Audit Report is ‘No’, ‘N/A’ or ‘Not covered’, we require an explanation to be provided by the internal auditor. It is not sufficient for a clerk to inform us of the reason. It needs to be communicated by the internal auditor to us either via a note on the AGAR form, a separate note to accompany the submission or by reference to the detailed internal audit report. Where no explanation is provided to us from the internal auditor, we would need to raise an ‘other matter’ in our report stating this.

LCC Winter gritting

LCC grit priority roads when road temperatures drop to around 0.5°C. This includes:

  • all A and B roads

  • at least one route from each of the county’s main villages

  • where possible, at least one road within 500m of all primary and secondary schools

  • roads linking all main NHS hospitals, train and bus stations

  • additional public service and school bus routes depending on various risk factors, such as historical accident data, pupil numbers and geographical risk factors

During prolonged snowfall, we fit ploughs to our gritters. We may also call upon farmers and contractors to assist with snow clearing.

View the LCC gritting routes.

When we grit

From October to April, we work with the Met Office to monitor weather conditions around the clock. Our 43 gritting crews are on-call 24/7.

We grit based on weather forecasts, road surface temperature and dampness, air temperature and humidity.

When we grit, we try to do so either before the ice has set or once the snow has settled. Be aware that high-purity white salt is not always visible on the road.

Why roads might still be icy

This can be because:

  • it takes time for the salt to take effect

  • high winds or sudden rain can take the salt off the road

  • if the road surface temperature drops below -7°C gritting is less effective

  • if the road surface temperature drops below -15°C, gritting doesn’t work at all

For updates on our gritting operations, follow @LincsCC_roads on Twitter.

SLCC Reminder: Rough Sleeping in Waste Bins

Serious and potentially fatal risks are posed by rough sleepers who seek shelter in large commercial or communal waste bins and may be inadvertently tipped into waste-collection trucks.

Simple control measures for businesses who manage large commercial bins and storage areas, and those who collect the waste, are set out in the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) guidance on its website.

The guidance includes:

  • increased risk factors, such as unsafe storage areas and bins being too accessible

  • duties of waste producers and/or businesses managing bin storage areas

  • what waste collectors need to do

  • what you should do if people are found in bins

Please read HSE’s guidance on preventing people getting into large waste and recycling bins.

Councils are encouraged to share this information as appropriate.

HSE have published further information on why businesses should check their bins.
