This week in Lincolnshire has witnessed an array of events spanning from significant anniversary commemorations to robust debates. In Mablethorpe, we celebrated the 100-year milestone of Jackson’s Amusements, a significant fixture that’s brought beachside pleasure for a century. However, the proposed transformation of the Cleethorpes Police Station into residential developments has stirred up contention due to flood risk concerns.
In encouraging news for local flora and fauna, we saw the birth of the first beaver in 400 years in Lincolnshire, marking a positive stride in conservation efforts. Meanwhile, Joan Kimberley, 94, played a crucial role in emphasising the significance of home security, especially for our increasingly aging population.
The educational sector divulged mixed reactions with the announcement of two Lincolnshire schools tweaking their Friday schedules in promotion of better work-life balance. Concurrently, the Lincolnshire Police, partnering with Humberside’s John Thirkettle, launched a mental health programme that further reinforces community support in such vital matters.
The proposed solar project has been met with increased passion from locals as it inches closer to decision time. On a sadder note, the tragic loss of motorcyclist JP Perry in a recent accident cast a shadow over the region’s roadways. However, there’s optimism with the pledge for strengthened electric vehicle facilities through important investing.
In terms of honours, numerous locals and creative individuals from Lincolnshire have been recognised and rewarded in the King’s Honours List. In addition, unveiling the £8.6m Health Research Campus in Mablethorpe shows a steadfast commitment to tackling health issues close to home.
This week’s spectrum of events encapsulates the undying spirit and determination within the Lincolnshire community amid various hurdles and progress. As we move ahead, our collective aim remains resolute: to create a safer, greener, and more inclusive Lincolnshire.
