Big turnout to see the Belvoir Hunt
Coun Ray Wootten says…
The silent majority turned out in their hundreds today to greet the Belvoir Hunt meet which have been meeting in Grantham for 130 years.
The turnout was one of the biggest seen in Grantham despite meeting at a new location in Stonebridge Road.
Although there were a few protesters, their voice was drowned out by those who were supporting the meet.
Many who turned out were critical that the Mayor was not there to greet the Hunt Master and present the traditional stirrup cup.
Merry Christmas Everyone

Have you paid for more than a hour to park because of queues?
HOSPITAL CAR PARKING
Sue McQuinn says…
1) Today I’ve received confirmation from Paul Boocock, Director of Facilities & Estates ULHT, that they are happy to help anyone who has received a PCN, which they believe to have been issued in error.
They will need your penalty reference no. and brief details of the circumstances.
Email: Paul.Boocock@ULH.nhs.uk or Ian.Hayden@ULH.nhs.uk
This includes (but isn’t exclusive to):
* PCNs received after paying in conjunction with a Blue Badge
* PCNs received after using Out of Hours (parking near Kingfisher Unit) and entering reg. into tablet as required
*PCNs received after using good2go app.
*PCNs received after using “the drop off bay” for under 20 mins.
2) If your parking fee went over one hour because of queues, Paul has offered free parking on your next visit. To obtain this he advises:
“If they could present their appointment card to reception from their previous visit then this will be arranged for them.”
TBH I’m not sure how helpful this is a) who always keeps their appointment card b) what if you were just visiting someone?
I hope all this helps some of you

Sadly the toy bank in Butchers Row has come to an end for another year but the results have been immense.
A record number of 229 children have been helped this year thanks to the generous donations we received.
The lads at the Kings School would like to thank anybody who got involved in this year’s programme and we would like to thank you for your continued support.
