About us

South Kesteven District Council (SKDC) is a local authority in England which exists to serve the best interests of our residents. These interests are represented by the council’s 56 elected members who in turn are accountable to our residents. In the aftermath of the Coronavirus crisis we have three clear priorities: • to protect the health of our staff, our members and our residents; • to maintain our critical services; and • to support our local businesses. Every decision we make supports these priorities and is centred on protecting lives and livelihoods. Putting people first is what we are committed to doing as a Council. We are achieving these priorities with such clarity, purpose and efficiency that we are gaining recognition for the results of our work at both a national and a regional level. We want to help South Kesteven to grow. A growing population and a growing economy creates jobs, secures infrastructure and attracts investment. More housing means more council tax and more businesses means more business rates. Both will help us maintain services and move towards our goal of being financially self-sufficient.

  • Prominent #health adverts from Roadvert on each side of our eye-catching blue vehicle highlight the fact that one in eight men will suffer from #prostate cancer. Latest figures suggest that 144 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every day. The lorry carries the Prostate Cancer UK 30-second risk check message that can save lives, along with a link to the #charity website for more information. It’s a colourful demonstration of our continuing #commitment to promoting #health awareness and will operate alongside its bright pink freighter launched last year to spread awareness of breast #cancer.
