South Holland District Council teams up for purge on fraud against local authorities

South Holland District Council has teamed up with other Lincolnshire authorities to launch a joint crackdown on fraud, starting with false applications for council tax discount or support.

The Lincolnshire Counter Fraud Partnership is made up of all seven districts and the county council. The group takes the issue extremely seriously, and have come together to raise awareness, share resources and expertise, and pool intelligence.
The partnership will be looking at all types of fraud against councils including false claims for housing, Blue Badge claims and financial mismanagement of grants and contracts.

Anyone suspecting any fraud against a Lincolnshire council can report it to the confidential hotline on 0800 0853716 or email whistleblowing@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
