West Lindsey, Administrative district in Lincolnshire, England.
West Lindsey is an administrative district in Lincolnshire that covers rural areas and includes towns such as Gainsborough, Market Rasen, and Caistor. The landscape stretches from flatter terrain in the west to the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds in the east.
The district was created in 1974 through the merger of five former local government areas: Caistor Rural, Gainsborough Rural, Gainsborough Urban, Market Rasen Urban, and Welton Rural Districts. This administrative reorganization brought together communities with different governance traditions.
The Trinity Arts Centre in Gainsborough showcases exhibitions and performances that reflect the artistic life of communities across the district. You can see how local creative work shapes what people experience and enjoy in this area.
The district council is based in Gainsborough and handles local services including waste management, housing support, and planning approvals. It helps to visit during business hours when offices are open for any administrative needs.
The West Lindsey Lottery program lets residents take part in weekly drawings to raise money for community projects throughout the district. It offers people a chance to win while supporting local causes that matter to their neighbors.
