Dear fellow councillors,
Hough Councillor Report - November 2025
I have now conducted a number of village walks across our patch, which have been very productive. Seeing and discussing local issues first hand with the Parish and LCC officers is definitely the way ahead and is helping to get things done, so these will continue.
I am continuing to work with LCC to try and progress ongoing broader issues such as speeding, parking and flooding, which are recurring themes across Hough. If anyone has ideas or proposals for how we can tackle these issues please let me know. By now you should be seeing how I work, nothing is off the table, so let’s be bold and get creative.
I am also looking at ways we can try to encourage more young people to get involved in voluntary community activities and local government, as Parish, District or indeed County councillors. Again, any ideas you have to support this would be welcomed.
I have access to a small amount of funding and resourcing support for local projects that benefit the community. So if you have ideas, please do let me know and I will see if I can help.
Local Updates
Gonerby Moor Development
A meeting took place recently with county and parish councillors and a developer to talk through a proposal. It was very productive meeting and all involved have agreed to maintain an open dialogue. The position of local Lincs county councillors in the impacted area is one of unity and collaboration, to ensure early engagement and any approved development works in the interests of local residents and the community.
All new issues that are proposed for LCC intervention should be logged in the PC meeting minutes and shared with Cllr Bamford. They will then be updated on in this report at the next meeting.
Thank you for your selfless service and continued vigilance in our community, we need everyone’s eyes and ears to help ensure our area remains a safe and well cared for place to live.
Best regards,
Councillor Ken Bamford
Hough Division
