It is rural in nature, but with Lincoln City immediately to the north, Nottingham 40 miles to the west and Peterborough 40 miles to the south. The district is served by the main north/south A15 linking Peterborough and Lincoln and is located to the east of the A1. The Council currently owns around 3,900 homes across the district as well as managing a further c. 50 leasehold properties. The Council also owns a new build development company called Lafford Homes which now has over 150 market rental properties and significant growth ambitions.
