As we reflect on the past week in cherished Lincolnshire, we’re prompted by the tenacity, innovation, and spirit that defines our county so distinctly. From serious concerns about a wave of unforeseen challenges to the Mayor’s debatable comments concerning ‘Lawless Britain’, it’s been quite a journey of ups and downs for our community. Amid these discussions, unfortunate events such as the air ambulance call-out at Skegness beach, an unsettling conflict at a local graveyard, and a woman facing the courts for attempting to manufacture a firearm using 3D printing, have transpired. However, demonstrating genuine Lincolnshire spirit, we’ve not shied away from adversity. We’ve rejoiced in the achievements of our local students making a mark nationally in a rowing programme and embraced the sanctioning of the UK’s largest floating solar farm at Grimsby Docks. This solar farm luminously attests to our pledge towards a more sustainable future.
We’ve weathered the announcement of River Island’s restructuring, predicting potential implications on our local outlet, and the unearthing of counterfeit Labubu dolls posing as choking hazards. Simultaneously, we’ve witnessed the rise of young entrepreneurs, like Ellie launching her own lemonade enterprise, and the flourishing Lincolnshire sunflower farm that’s flowering despite shifting climates. As we venture through this labyrinth of challenges, we must commemorate the fortitude of our community. Lincolnshire may encounter a fair portion of tests, but it’s our shared spirit and resilience that fuels our momentum. Here’s commemorating another week of battling whatever stands in our path, unified.
