Lincolnshire’s council leaders said they are disappointed that the county remained under the toughest coronavirus tier 3 restrictions on Thursday.
Health secretary Matt Hancock said the vast majority of areas, including the Greater Lincolnshire region, would remain in tier three along with neighbours to the west Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
However, he also added that the county’s southern neighbours of Peterborough (Cambridgeshire) would be placed into tier 3.
Questioned by Gainsborough MP Sir Edward Leigh on why some parts of Lincolnshire could not be separated from others, Mr Hancock said: “We did look very closely at the southern end of Lincolnshire, which is a long way from where the rates are incredibly elevated around Lincoln, the coast and West Lindsey.
