Four district councils in Lincolnshire have united in support of the Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub by signing up for a new shared service initiative.Previously, the BLGH received around £20m through the European Regional Development Fund 2014-2020 program.
Out of the seven local authorities in Lincolnshire, the City of Lincoln, North Kesteven, South Kesteven, and West Lindsey have chosen to participate in the Business Lincolnshire UKSPF Shared Service. According to the report:"The shared service aims to provide a universal core business support service that incorporates as much as possible from the [previous] program to meet thematic and sector priorities, thereby reducing the proliferation of individual services and helping to reduce patchwork provision."
