Policy Commentary<br />
8.20 The indicators do not give a complete picture<br />
of whether the Policy is being implemented, due to<br />
their narrow focus and the limitations of the data. Yet<br />
in the past year the following actions have been<br />
carried out by the local authorities and a range of<br />
partners:<br />
• The Lincolnshire Structure Plan was adopted, which<br />
contains many policies consistent with Policy 6 of<br />
the <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong><br />
• The Lincoln Policy Area Sub-<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> was<br />
developed, setting out a blueprint to strengthen<br />
the role of Lincoln as a Principal Urban Area<br />
• The Coastal Action Zone was established<br />
• Work has begun on the Gainsborough Masterplan<br />
• Numerous smaller projects have contributed to<br />
specific objectives of Policy 6, e.g:<br />
• Lincolnshire Wolds Project<br />
• Skegness Extreme Sports Centre<br />
• Enhancement of Baston Fen<br />
