Rural Fair Share

Additional Information

The Petition of the residents of Lincolnshire, including constituencies of Sleaford and North Hykeham, Lincoln, Boston and Skegness, Louth and Horncastle, Grantham and Stamford, Gainsborough, South Holland and the Deepings,

Declares that the petitioners believe that the Local Government Finance Settlement is unfair to rural communities; notes that the Rural Penalty sees urban areas receive 50% more support per head than rural areas despite higher costs in rural service delivery; and opposes the planned freezing of this inequity in the 2013/14 settlement for six years until 2020.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to reduce the Rural Penalty in staged steps by at least 10% by 2020.
