The residents of Lincolnshire have truly encapsulated the community spirit this week! Improvements are set to grace the town of Mablethorpe, with the locals collaborating on an engaging initiative to rejuvenate the high street, enhance the road system and make the promenade more appealing. This admirable effort is the epitome of our county’s spirit. Simultaneously, in North Lincolnshire, a call to arms for volunteers has been announced to partake in a Community Clean-Up Initiative, a testament to our shared dedication to preserving our cherished surroundings.
In addition to this, the week was marked by moving tributes acknowledging those we’ve tragically lost, as funeral notices across Lincolnshire served as a stark reminder to cherish our loved ones. Nearby in Healing, near Grimsby, Mary Vickers turned her personal health struggle into a powerful campaign to highlight the critical importance of breast screenings.
Adding to the growing sense of pride in our community, we delighted in the 20th-anniversary celebrations of the Lincolnshire Flag at Lincoln Cathedral, a key marking point of Lincolnshire Day. These heartfelt commemorations not only paid respects to our local wartime veterans but also remind us of the meaningful unity we collectively hold as residents of Lincolnshire. In more light-hearted news, unfortunately, Santa’s sleigh is in search of a new dwelling, whereas the Grantham Lions have begun preparations for their festive fundraising tour.
In a pleasing twist, a brand-new Wetherspoon pub opened its doors in North Hykeham, marking a fresh socializing location for the locals. Meanwhile, our local animal welfare champions at the RSPCA have been working relentlessly, taking care of ‘gentle giants’ and a delightful German Shepherd named Luna, both of whom are eagerly awaiting a caring and loving home.
To round off the week, our local creative talents have shot to recognition, with Matthew Wright’s ‘Papestry’ creatively bringing Lincoln’s historic Bailgate to life, in addition to new writing groups extending invitations to neurodivergent individuals. Lincolnshire, your relentless will and spirit never cease to leave us astounded. As we commence another exciting chapter filled with community, creativity, and mutual care, here’s to an equally enriching week ahead!
