East Lindsey District Council (District Billing Authority, ~10–15%): Collects your tax and funds local borough functions—refuse collection, housing, planning approvals, and environmental health.
Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC, ~10–12%): Sets an independent precept to fund regional policing operations.
Fire and Rescue Authority (~3–4%): Funds emergency fire rescue and prevention operations.
