Make a nomination to recognise Grantham’s amazing hospital staff

by Leave a Comment

The 2021 United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) Staff Awards are now open for nominations.
 
This is an opportunity for the people of Lincolnshire to recognise the hard work, dedication and care shown by hospital staff working across the county, especially those who have demonstrated exceptional professionalism and caring during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Nominations can be made in 12 categories recognising care and compassion, great teamwork, research and innovation and unsung heroes amongst other things. Anyone can make a nomination- staff, patients and members of the public.
 
This year, as a one-off, a new COVID Hero Award has been introduced, with the aim of recognising individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond to care for patients and colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
In addition, the Roger Thorley Great Patient Experience Award is especially important, as it is open only to patient nominations, and winners are judged by a panel of patients.
 
Since launching in 2013, the ULHT Staff Awards have received thousands of nominations for staff across Lincolnshire’s hospitals in all sorts of roles, both clinical and non-clinical.
 
Trust Chief Executive, Andrew Morgan, said: “We have hard working and dedicated staff working across our hospitals, and right now they deserve recognition for their efforts more than ever before. Our staff have been there offering care to patients even during the most difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and continue to go above and beyond on a daily basis in challenging circumstances.
 
“Our awards are just one way in which we can recognise staff excellence and the amazing work that they do. I’d like to encourage anyone who has experienced or observed great care or service to make a nomination and give our staff a boost.”
 
To nominate someone for an award, please fill in a form available on the Trust website at https://www.ulh.nhs.uk/about/staff-awards/
 
Paper copies will also be available on our hospital sites.
 
The awards for 2021 will close on Friday 29 January 2021.
 
 Notes to editors
 
The full list of categories for the ULHT staff awards are below:

Unsung Heroes – Clinical – This award recognises an individual working in a clinical role who has made an exceptional contribution to the Trust and its services, but whose contribution and role often goes unrecognised.

Night closures northbound all week and then complete closures over the upcoming weekend ready for counterflow to moved to new bridge?

Step closer in removing traffic from town centre and reduce bridge strikes in the town

A1 sliproad closure

by Leave a Comment

The A1 southbound slipway at Barrowby has reopened following an earlier burst water main.


The road was closed at 5.30pm but reopened two hours later.


It had caused particular problems as it is an alternative route for traffic diverted due to the Barrowby Road bridge closure

Sentenced following anti-social behaviour

by Leave a Comment


A man and woman have been sentenced after breaching an injunction that had an attached power of arrest, following ongoing anti-social behaviour and threats of violence that posed a significant risk of harm to South Kesteven District Council staff.

Kerry Askew (39) and Kane Nagg (28), of no fixed abode, appeared at Nottingham County Court where they admitted the breach after being detained in custody following a spate of complaints about them. Nagg was sentenced to an immediate eight days in custody, with credit for time spent on remand in custody. A suspended custodial sentence from February 2020 was not activated but remains in force.

Askew was sentenced to an immediate 14 days in custody with credit given for time spent on remand in custody. She also received an eight-week sentence, suspended until 14 February 2021.

The injunction, designed to tackle repeated and ongoing anti-social behaviour and give offenders the opportunity to improve their behaviour, means Askew and Nagg should not:

Act or incite to act in an anti-social manner likely to cause harrassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household, anywhere in Riverside, New Street, Manners Street, Shakespeare Avenue (all Grantham).

Harass any officer, employee, servant or agent of SKDC or specific individuals by intimidation, physical attack, obstruction, causing disturbance by noise, or by taking money.

Use or supply drugs at or from Riverside, New Street, Manners Street, Witham Place, Shakespeare Avenue, Grantham.

Threaten any person with violence and/or be verbally abusive towards any person in Riverside, New Street, Manners Street, Witham Place, Shakespeare Avenue, Grantham.

Use abusive, offensive, threatening or intimidating language or behaviour in Riverside, New Street, Manners Street, Witham Place, Shakespeare Avenue, Grantham.

Persistently knock on neighbours’ doors and/or ring doorbells or intercom systems, without reasonable excuse in Riverside, New Street, Manners Street, Witham Place, Grantham.

Call at premises without prior permission of an occupier in Riverside, New Street, Manners Street, Witham Place, Shakespeare Avenue, Grantham.

Do anything, including making a statement, whether by themselves or encouraging other people to do so, that is likely to intimidate named individuals

Enter designated areas of Grantham, Stamford and Bourne.

The conditions will remain in force until 1 December 2020 unless they are discharged or varied before that date. There is a power of arrest attached to the injunction which expires on the same date.

SKDC Cabinet Member for Housing, Cllr Robert Reid, said: “This case shows we take the safety of our staff and other members of the community very seriously. We are not prepared to tolerate anti-social behaviour, or circumstances in which our staff feel threatened.

“My thanks go to everyone who has worked hard on this case to bring about a result that should act as a strong warning to others.”

Remember when these roared through Grantham?

How to pay less tax

by Leave a Comment

The Covid-19 situation and the ongoing health, economic and general well-being for individuals, families and businesses alike, continue to dominate both the UK and the World scene, and is likely to continue to do so for some time to come.

Please take a look at our paylesstax newsletter, as this edition strives to tackle, amongst other things, some of the tax issues and cash flow fears which have reared their ugly heads due to this pandemic.

At ESP Business Solutions we are always in search of ways to help and inform our clients and our wider community.

In this edition of the paylesstax newsletter, we look at the variety of tax options open to corporate firms who make losses, as well as revealing how businesses can take steps to look forward to navigate their way out of this pandemic.

To some extent, moving away from the Covid-19 situation, we reveal why it is so important to take advice before purchasing a second residential property in another part of the UK to where you are situated. We also cover off the tax impact of purchasing land on which to build your own home.

Over the coming months if one of the articles impacts immediately on your plans then please call us, we will be more than happy to receive your call and help you!

We’re really looking forward to hearing from you.
