West Lindsey

West Lindsey extends across rural territories and encompasses multiple towns, including Gainsborough, Market Rasen, and Caistor, with parts of the Lincolnshire Wolds in the east.

The district emerged on April 1, 1974, through the merger of five former districts: Caistor Rural, Gainsborough Rural, Gainsborough Urban, Market Rasen Urban, and Welton Rural Districts.

The Trinity Arts Centre in Gainsborough presents regular exhibitions, performances, and workshops that represent the artistic expressions of local communities throughout the district.

The district council, based in Gainsborough, manages local services including waste collection, housing assistance, and planning permissions for the district's 96,817 residents.

Through the West Lindsey Lottery initiative, residents support local causes while participating in weekly drawings that generate funds for community projects.
