Today is your last chance to register to vote. We only have council elections in City of Lincoln so if you're in that district be sure you've registered but we do have a county-wide Police & Crime Commissioner election on 2 May so we all need to check we're on the list.

Thanks so much to Tanvir Hassan for doing the star turn at today's Creatives Connect networking date. You had me at the cats 🐱

Amazing to have over 50 creatives in the room, all linking up and supporting each other.

See you next month, 10 May:

Is the Great British #Staycation over for good, as reported this week?

No doubt we've had a very mixed Easter here in Lincs - the cost of living crisis & rain have made sure of that. But over for good? Not a chance. Hear my view on tonight's ITV News Calendar @ 6pm.

🚨 Pleased to see that government has listened to us and has announced that violence against retail workers is to be made a separate offence 🚨 Our research found a rise in threatening behaviour, intimidation, and/or assault over the last four years, alongside increased reports…

Lincs is coastal and low lying, so we tend to see some of the worst of the wet weather. Please be prepared - as much as you can - before the rain really kicks in 🌧☔

I’ve got something exciting to tell you tomorrow… 🤐

I've been prompted by a post I saw today from a local member to remind all FSB members that if you/an employee is called to serve Jury duty, you can reclaim up to £2,500 of lost earnings via our Legal Expense Insurance that's all baked into FSB m'ship.
