South Holland Independents

The South Holland Independents are a British political party based in South Holland District in the county of Lincolnshire, England. The group was formed in 2021 by several independent councillors on South Holland District Council.

History
In the 2021 Lincolnshire County Council election, the party elected 3 councillors.

In the 2023 South Holland District Council election, the party elected 15 councillors, leaving the Conservative administration with a majority of 1. They also managed to unseat the council's leader, Gary Porter.

In November 2023, the party lost a seat to the Conservatives: the result of the vote count had been a tie, so it was decided by drawing lots.

The party supported independent candidate Mark Le Sage in the South Holland and The Deepings constituency in the 2024 general election. He came fourth with 11% of the vote.

Principles
The group seeks to prioritise the needs of local people over national politics. The issues they focus on include tougher action on anti-social behaviour, tackling fly tipping, improving leisure facilities, and expanding green waste collection.
