Everything about West Lindsey totally explained
West Lindsey is a
local government district in
Lincolnshire,
England. It covers
Gainsborough,
Market Rasen,
Sudbrooke,
Cherry Willingham,
Nettleham, and
Welton. There is, however, a growing dissatisfaction in these last four villages with West Lindsey, and complaints that it's failing to serve them properly because of its base 20 miles away in
Gainsborough. Proposals for a 'Greater Lincoln' authority (
Greater Lincoln
) have been made, and met with strong support from the villages near
Lincoln.
The district was formed on
1 April 1974, from the
urban districts of Gainsborough, Market Rasen, along with
Caistor Rural District,
Gainsborough Rural District and
Welton Rural District. All of these were in the
administrative county of
Lindsey.
West Lindsey borders
North Lincolnshire and
North East Lincolnshire to the north,
East Lindsey to the east,
North Kesteven and the city of
Lincoln to the south, and the county of
Nottinghamshire to the west.
Education
The district, similar to North and
South Kesteven, has a mixture of comprehensive schools in the south-east of the district and selective schools in
Gainsborough and Caistor. Both grammar schools are in the top ten for
A level results in the East Midlands, with
Caistor Grammar School getting the best results in this region consistently year on year. It also gets some of the best results in England. The best comprehensive in this district (and the county) is the
William Farr School in
Welton, which gets A level results similar to a
grammar school.
