West Lindsey District Council is a local government authority serving a predominantly rural district in England, headquartered in Gainsborough. It lies immediately north of Lincoln and functions as the north-west gateway to Lincolnshire, with three market towns, Caistor, Gainsborough, and Market Rasen, within its boundaries. The district covers about 447 square miles and has a low population density, factors that can push up the cost of delivering certain services relative to more densely populated areas. As a district council within the government administration sector, it provides local public services across its rural area. In March 2026, Cliff Dean, head of the Shared ICT Partnership, was shortlisted for Cybersecurity Advocate/Educator of the Year at the Computing Security Excellence Awards, reflecting the council's engagement with cybersecurity.
