RSS and News Feeds

The City of Lincoln Council uses Google Feedburner to deliver RSS feeds and email alerts for a number of different services on our website. Use the grid below to sign up and receive information via feed or email, or click here to find out more about RSS.

What is RSS?

RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a way that we can deliver our latest updates to you automatically. Simply register to one of our RSS feeds using a readily available feed reader and when that feed is updated with content you will be notified. It's just like getting updates by email.
