The Boundary Commission has dramatically redrawn many boundaries in Lincolnshire. This new grouping of the market town of Boston with the euphemistically 'bracing' Skegness is safely Conservative. Of all the candidates 'on the stump' here, the Conservative can expect to hold safely, although Tory tenure could not be quite described as a stranglehold.
