We're often telling you about council cutbacks here - but now there's a scheme in place to cut councillors themselves.
In fact, there could be seven fewer councillors on Lincolnshire County Council in the future.

A recommendation's been put forward by the Boundary Commission for England which would see the authority represented by 70 members - instead of 77.
The proposed new arrangements must now be implemented by Parliament if they're to take effect next year.
It's being supported by the leading Tory group, but opposed by Labour

Lifeboats also launched from Skegness
BBC Radio Lincolnshire
This tweet from the RNLI shows both the resort's lifeboats were launched this afternoon - still no official word on the "ongoing incident" the coastguard says is going on.
Lincolnshire have won their minor counties match away at Staffordshire by eight wickets.
They wrapped up their second innings in just over two hours - ending on 207 for 2.
If Northumberland beat Cambridgeshire - or draw - then Lincolnshire have won the league.
We'll confirm if that's the case later.
WATCH: Angry Jack Burnell reacts to 10km swim disqualification

BBC Lincolnshire Live
Imagine spending four years training and two hours in the water - only to be disqualified.
Lincolnshire's Jack Burnell spoke to Sir Matthew Pinsent straight after he left the water.
To say he's upset is an understatement - but if it was me I'd have been less restrained...
British marathon swimmer questions Jack Burnell disqualification
British marathon swimmer Keri-anne Payne (pictured left) tweeted her outrage after hearing that her fellow swimmer Lincolnshire's Jack Burnell was disqualified earlier.
The pair have been offering each other moral support throughout their time in Rio.

Disqualification heartbreak for Jack in marathon swim
Rob Makepeace
BBC Radio Lincolnshire sport
Lincolnshire swimmer Jack Burnell's been disqualified after an incredibly close finish in the Olympic 10km swim off Copacabana beach.
Jack had led the field for a few moments but was involved in a photo finish at the end.

The results took some time to compile after so many swimmers reached the finish line at the same time.
It's not yet clear why the North Hykeham swimmer was eliminated from the results table.
Council chief's 'delight' as hub funding confirmed
Sharon Edwards
Political Reporter, BBC Radio Lincolnshire
I've been speaking to Angela Andrews, the chief executive of the City of Lincoln Council this morning after the Government confirmed it was giving the city £11m towards it's new transport hub.
Mrs Andrews had been forced to put the work on hold until the cash was confirmed by Whitehall officials, so it's come as a major relief to be able to say work will begin soon.

Stage set for Jesus Christ Superstar
Martin Slack
BBC Lincolnshire Live
Last year it was a massive success, so the people behind a community production of Jesus Christ Superstar are bringing it back.
Tickets for the performance - which will run from August 22 until August 30 - sold out in five hours, with those for an extra date shifting in just seven minutes.
All the profit from the production goes to the cathedral, but if you were hoping to get hold of a seat - you're out of luck.
But here's what the stage will look like. Scant consolation I realise.
Private cremation to follow funeral for mum and daughter
Natasha Turney
BBC Radio Lincolnshire
The family of Claire and Charlotte Hart are saying their private goodbyes this afternoon after a public funeral at their local village church.
The coffins of Claire Hart and her daughter Charlotte, bearing simple floral tributes, were carried through hundreds of mourners in Moulton, near Spalding.

Lance Hart killed his wife Claire who was 50 and 19 year old Charlotte in Spalding last month. He then turned the gun on himself.
Charlotte was described as kind and delicate and it was said both mother and daughter were always at their happiest when they made others happy.

Rio: Lincolnshire swimmer not a happy man after disqualification
BBC Sport
More from Jack Burnell after his disqualification: "Apparently I was disqualified two metres from end.
"I felt a hand on my leg and it stops me dead, I took a few more strokes and he is still on my foot.
"Words can't describe it. So much brutal hard work has gone into it and it is ruined by a couple of judges.
"We are going to put an appeal in but it will do absolutely nothing. They probably will just dismiss it.
"This is the grandest stage of all and it is ruined by a couple of judges."
