South Kyme Parish Council

15/07/2026

Lincolnshire County Council's Executive have approved a package of improvements for Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across the county.

The agreed recommendations include the introduction of a booking system across all 11 Household Waste Recycling Centres, alongside a programme of infrastructure improvements designed to reduce queuing, improve traffic management, enhance safety, and support higher recycling performance. These improvements follow a detailed review of the service, which identified increasing visitor numbers, rising waste volumes, and growing pressure across Lincolnshire's HWRC network.

Importantly, nothing changes immediately.

The Executive's decision allows officers to begin the next stage of work, including procuring the booking system and progressing the planned infrastructure improvements. Before any changes are introduced, there will be a comprehensive programme of communications and engagement to explain how the system will work, when it will be introduced and what residents need to do.
Residents will receive plenty of notice before any changes come into effect. The new booking system will also include a telephone booking option for residents who do not have internet access, helping to ensure the service remains accessible to everyone.

Lincolnshire Carers Service – A message from Cllr Steve Clegg.

Many people looking after someone close to them don’t realise that they are, in fact, carers. If you support a family member, friend or neighbour who would struggle to manage without your help, you may be an unpaid carer — even if it’s something you’ve simply taken on over time.

Caring can mean all sorts of things: helping with shopping or medication, providing emotional reassurance, keeping someone company, or just being nearby in case you’re needed. You don’t have to live with the person you support, and you don’t have to be providing care full time to be recognised as a carer.

If this sounds like you, please know that support is available.

The Lincolnshire Carers Service offers friendly, knowledgeable support from people who genuinely understand the realities of caring. They host free events where you can meet others, enjoy a well earned break, and pick up new skills if you choose. There’s practical help for your whole household too — for some people this may include benefit checks, guidance around employment, or other tailored support. They can also arrange a Carer’s Assessment to explore what might help you stay well and continue in your caring role.

They support adult carers, parent carers and young adult carers right across Lincolnshire.

Please do reach out if you think you may be a carer, or if you know someone who might be. Support is here for you.

Crisis and Resilience Fund: Heating Oil Support Scheme For North Kesteven- Status: OPEN

https://lincolnshirecf.co.uk/nkoil/

The CRF Oil Fund is a support fund established by Lincolnshire County Council to help low income and vulnerable households manage the rising cost of domestic heating oil.

Some homes in North Kesteven rely on oil for heating, which is not covered by energy price protections and often requires large upfront payments. This fund provides targeted assistance to help ensure the most vulnerable residents can continue to heat their homes and access hot water.
