South Kesteven are conducting a CGR with a view to establishing a town council for Grantham, which is (I think) the only currently unparished part of the district. In 2022 the district council agreed in principle to the establishment of the town council, but has been conducting further consultations on the exact boundary. The CGR has just completed consultations on the new round of draft proposals, and the expectation is that the first election for the town council will occur in May 2024.
The draft proposals are for a 22 member council, with the same ward boundaries as the district wards of Arnoldfield, Barrowby Gate, Earlesfield, Harrowby, Springfield, St Vincent's, and St Wulfram's. All would be three members, except St Vincent's which would be four. The total electorate of the council would be around 28,000.
In May 2023 these wards had results: Arnoldfield - Ind 529*/357, Con 449*/420, Lab 412 Barrowby Gate - Con 467*/445*, Lab 430, Ind 343/206, Green 257 Earlesfield - Lab 305*/218, Ind 301*/214 Harrowby - Ind 526*/468*, Lab 259, Con 187 Springfield - Lab 364*, Con 301*/295, Ind 277, Green 210 St Vincent's - Green 520*/375/372, Ind 517*/328/324, Con 400*/344, Lab 393/365 St Wulfram's - Ind 588*/471, Con 523*/390, Lab 321
6 Con, 6 Ind, 2 Lab, 1 Green

This will be going ahead on the above boundaries, for a three year term to align with the district cycle in future. Since the above, there has also been a district byelection in St Wulfram's:
2023, Nov. Con 361*, Ind 233/24, Lab 173, Green 145, LD 135
