When asked about being awarded with an MBE, Steve told The Lincolnite: “It’s an honour. A person said about nominating me back in 2019 and I thought nothing more of it at the time and was surprised to get the email recently, I am proud. I won’t be celebrating just yet though due to health reasons.”
“I wanted to put my body on the line for charity and I just got on and did it, but it’s about the people that sponsored me who deserve the thanks as well.”
Steve was also previously employed as a Housing Officer for the MoD looking after families living in Service Families Accommodation in the Lincolnshire area.

He has also been heavily involved in the National Health Walks programme as a volunteer walk leader for City of Lincoln Council.
Steph Douglas has been awarded with an MBE for services to education.
Steph Douglas, 63, who was born in Cleethorpes and lives in Lincoln, was awarded an MBE for services to education.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Steph has shown great leadership and support to the early years sector, as well as to colleagues, to ensure that critical services remained open to support children of key workers and vulnerable children.
Steph told The Lincolnite that she felt overcome with emotion after finding out about her award.
She said: “I didn’t know anything about it until the Cabinet Office emailed me. I am quite overcome by it and delighted to have been nominated.
“The work I have always done in Early Years has been my passion since I started teaching and it is nice to be recognised for that work.
“My passion is making a difference to young children. I think that the earlier you provide intervention for families in need, the more successful children will be when they become adults. It’s a wonderful job and working with young children is the most rewarding thing in the world.”
Steph is also part of the stakeholder group for South Yorkshire Futures, a regional partnership led by Sheffield Hallam University with a focus on improving social mobility for all of the area’s children and young people. She also played a key role in securing the funding for the Early Years Outcome Project with a focus on improving Speech and Language Pathways and outcomes.

When asked about being awarded with an MBE, Angela told The Lincolnite: “I am absolutely delighted and thrilled and feel honoured.
“I campaigned and put forward various suggestions to Martin Hill (Lincolnshire County Council leader) and the scrutiny committee, which led to the relief road being diverted and avoiding several houses being knocked down in 2019. Someone at the time mentioned about nominating me for the award and I thought nothing more of it.
“I got a phone call in May (from the Cabinet Office) and it took me by surprise. I am very proud and have been a district councillor since 1973, and the only one elected then who is still on the council.
“I enjoy helping people and the challenges that face us quite often and want to keep going on both councils.”

A comical ode to Lincolnshire
“I’ve got glee for Cleethorpes and Brigg is the best, got the horn for Horncastle, and I like Skegness” are just some of the lyrics of a song released by a sketch comedy troupe, which has had over 40 million views across various online platforms since forming four years ago.
Actors/comedians Georgie Jones from Bourne, Philippa Carson from Dublin and Will Sebag-Montefiore from Leeds, as well as Scottish lawyer Tom Dickson, got together to form Just These Please in 2017. The latest musical performance – Anthem for Lincolnshire – was uploaded to YouTube this month.
The group’s first foray into the comedy world was their debut Edinburgh show at the Gilded Balloon in 2018, before their song ‘When You Order Coffee With An Irish Name’ saw their popularity soar with over 30 million views across various social media platforms and more than 1.4 million on YouTube.
The group has written 25 sketches and songs which are performed in hour-long shows. They were also finalists for the Rockies Best Newcomer award at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival in Ireland, but their Soho Theatre run, Glasgow Comedy Festival and 120-seater Edinburgh Fringe performance were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The quartet didn’t let the pandemic dampen their spirits and focused on their online content, building up a following of over 85,000. They released a new video a week for 10 weeks on YouTube during the first part of the coronavirus lockdown, as well as some festive specials for Christmas.
Just These Please have also performed on BBC Radio 4 Extra, BBC Radio London, RTE 2FM, Talk Radio and BBC Radio Lincolnshire. They are hoping to perform in Lincolnshire in the future.
Just These Please have built up an online following of over £85,000 and the group’s videos have been viewed over 40 million times.
Georgie Jones, who lives in Bourne, told The Lincolnite: “We just thought it would be a lovely opportunity to do something and we wanted to do an ode to Lincolnshire.
“I provided little bits of Lincolnshire inspiration for the anthem, but a lot of the niche references came from our internet research.
“The reaction has been amazing. It’s been really wonderful and people have told us they have been watching it multiple times.
“Bourne have loved it too. A lot of people from Bourne have followed us from the beginning and travelled to see our shows and I’d love to take one of our shows there. We’d love to come to Lincoln too and anywhere else in the county that will have us.
“Lincolnshire is not known for its art scene, so it felt cool to honour the county in a musical way and it was a lot of fun to make.”
Georgie added that she is performing her solo poetry show at Stamford Arts in September and will be resuming her tour of Lincolnshire in the future. She has also appeared in a “funny television commercial” for Smarty Mobile.
Philippa added: “BBC Radio Lincolnshire did a live festival with bands, including comedy bands, performing live from home. We did a live gig with some of our songs and then decided we would write one specifically about Lincolnshire for BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
“We are on zoom with each other constantly and come up with our ideas together, and from being out and about, and then discuss how we can make it funny.”
The comedy troupe are also working on a new show for the 2021 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Safe to say Phillip is very Cross with the council
A Lincoln business owner says he “deserves better” from the council after years of anti-social behaviour plagued an alleyway that his snooker club can be found on, and now he wants to take matters into his own hands.
Phillip Cross has been the owner of Lincoln Snooker Club at St Peter At Arches for around two years, but anti-social behaviour on the alleyway that his business is located has been rife for long before then.
The Lincolnite first wrote about these issues when we went to meet Phillip in November 2019, and since then he has been calling for change at the anti-social behaviour hotspot.

Phillip urged the council to gate off the alleyway in July 2020 as well, when he said he’d seen people use it to defecate, urinate, take drugs and have sex.
These problems have not gone away, and even after lockdown restrictions were being lifted in April 2021, people were being caught on CCTV using the alley as a toilet, right outside the front door of Phillip’s business.
Phillip installed an access control gate in the area immediately outside his club in July 2020.
The alleyway eventually gained an unfortunate nickname of ‘pee alley‘ after yet more incidents were caught on camera during the May bank holiday weekend.
He has called for action from City of Lincoln Council, and set up a petition to have the alleyway gated overnight to stop people using it as a toilet.

At the time of reporting, the petition stands at 206 signatures and continues to rise as more and more incidents are reported.

Francesca Bell, public protection, anti-social behaviour and licensing service manager at City of Lincoln Council said: “We are aware that the owner of Lincoln Snooker Club has begun a petition calling on us to gate this passageway off.
“However, this is something we would only ever do as an absolute last resort as the passageway is a thoroughfare and is used by businesses other than the snooker club.
“When the proposal for the PSPO currently in effect on St Peters Passage was put before our members there was a view that they would not be in favour of gating any further passages.”
Celebrations all round for Lincolnshire’s vaccine rollout
More than half a million people in Lincolnshire have now been given at least a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and there were celebrations in place for the person who hit the milestone.
The 500,000th first dose vaccination was administered to Ruth Granby at the large centre in Boston, the Princess Royal Sports Arena, on Friday, June 11.
The site is the largest vaccination centre in Lincolnshire, and has capacity to provide around 1,500 doses every day.
It opened on Monday, January 18 to help deliver the national coronavirus vaccine rollout, alongside centres in Lincoln, Grantham and beyond.

The Lincolnite caught up with Ruth Granby, the 500,000th person to be given their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and she said it was a “surreal” feeling, but above all else she was just relieved to get it done.
Rebecca Neno, deputy chief nurse at NHS Lincolnshire CCG, vowed she “won’t rest until the job is done”, after the county reached the impressive milestone.
We also spoke to a couple of volunteers and staff members at the PRSA, and they both sang the praises of the “team effort” and positive atmosphere at the centre.
A total of 380,000 second doses of the vaccine have also been administered, meaning the county is getting closer to hitting one million vaccinations.

Excitement is building ahead of the start of Euro 2020 on Friday night and people from across different nations in Europe will be cheering on their home country.
For many, England will be the focus as they prepare for their first match against Croatia on Sunday, June 13. The two teams are in Group D alongside Scotland and Czech Republic at the tournament, which was delayed by a year and kicks off on June 11.
With Lincoln having such a wide range of nationalities and cultural backgrounds, results for a lot of the other countries in the tournament will be just as important to people in the city.
Euro 2020 begins on Friday with Italy taking on Turkey and The Lincolnite caught up with an array of fans, including Lincoln City players, to find out their predictions for their own home countries and on who will win the tournament, which ends on July 11.

Italy, who won the European Championships in 1968, will face Turkey, Wales and Switzerland in Group A.
Italian chef Antonio Steri, who works at Bello Pizza on Monks Road in Lincoln, has high hopes for his home country at Euro 2020.
He said: “After a disappointing summer in 2018 when we didn’t make the world cup competition we should have the extra fire in us to have a competitive competition when it comes to Italy.
“The squad is now well rested and motivated to achieve something in the tournament. I think Italy will find it easy in the group stage as on paper we are clear favourites. Looking at the rest of the competition on our day we can give a run for their money to any team in the competition and should be looking at a high place finish.
“My predictions for the tournament would be that Italy will get to at least a semi-final as they try to avenge their performance in 2018.”
When asked who will win the tournament, he added: “As for the whole tournament there are many favourites in my opinion, but I think it will come down to four teams – Belgium, France, Italy, and Portugal.
“France will come out victorius in the end I think as they are still upset after losing the 2016 final to Portugal in their own back yard.”

Lincoln City’s Welsh defender Regan Poole believes Wales will reach the knock-out stages, saying: “I think they will finish second in the group and get knocked out in the quarter-final.”
When asked who he thinks will win the tournament, Regan added: “I think France because they have so much strength and depth in every position and the squad is unbelievable.”

Belgium, the nation ranked number one in the world, will face off against Finland, Russia and Denmark in Group B.

“This is an amazing opportunity to raise the profile of football in Finland in addition to other very popular sports like ice hockey. The most important match for Finland is against Denmark. If we win, we’ll have a chance to get much further.”
When asked to pick her winner for the tournament, she added: “I hope England will win, but I think it will be a very close call with France!”

Group C consists of Holland, Austria and Ukraine, as well as North Macedonia who have qualified for their first ever major tournament.
On Holland’s chances, Lincoln City’s Dutch centre-back Lewis Montsma said: “I think they will do alright. I hope they can play as a team and I’m looking forward to their games.”
When asked who will win the tournament, he added: “I think Belgium because they have a very good squad with KDB (Kevin De Bruyne), (Dries) Mertens and (Romelu) Lukaku.”

“Football’s coming home” will be ringing in the air as England make another attempt at winning their first major trophy since 1966. Standing in their way in the group stages are Croatia, who knocked them out in 2018 World Cup semi-final, rivals Scotland, and Czech Republic.
There will be rivalry within the Lincoln City squad when England take on Scotland on June 18, with a lot of English players in the Imps’ squad, including Tayo Edun, and Conor McGrandles among the Scottish contingent at the LNER Stadium.
Lincoln City’s English full-back Tayo Edun spoke about England’s chances, saying: “I think they’ll do well, I expect us to make the semi-finals as a minimum due to all the ability and depth. As well as players coming off the back of good club campaigns.”
When asked who will win Euro 2020, Tayo added: “I think France will do it again. Just because they’ve got a similar team to the on that one the World Cup so chemistry isn’t an issue. They have also added some big talents to the squad.”

On Scotland’s chances, Conor said: “I actually think Scotland will get out the group stages and anything after that is a bonus! Well, even if we beat England and don’t qualify I’ll take it!”
Like Tayo, Conor is also backing France to win the tournament, adding: “I think France will win it because they have a lot of top class players in nearly every position. The fact they also won the last World Cup will give them massive confidence going into the tournament.”
Spanish dentists Manu Ceconi and Jose Lopez Garrido will be cheering on their home country with their friends in Lincoln.
Spain, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden will face off in Group E.
Spanish dentists Manu Ceconi and Jose Lopez Garrido are looking forward to cheering on their country with their friends in Lincoln.
Manu said: “I am sure that we have a strong and good group of young players that will take Spain to the final and win. Since the 2006 World Cup, Spain has been in a strong situation to win and we have done a few times now, so I am sure that we can win it this time.”
Jose said: “I would say that Spain could make the quarter-final, but the Spanish level is much lower than 10 years ago. France is my favourite to win the Euros as they are a young and very competitive team and have got a world class star in (Kylian) Mbappe.”
The Polish owners of Sugarart of Lincoln, Grzegorz and Agnes Grabowski.
The Polish owners of Sugarart of Lincoln, Grzegorz and Agnes Grabowski, are also getting excited as their home nation prepares for another major tournament.
On Poland’s chances, Grzegorz said: “I will always support our national team and believe they can win, but unfortunately it is not always possible. Our national team has a new coach and is the team is practically completely rebuilt. Of course, we have Robert Lewandowski, but we lostArkadiusz Milik.
“We have some experienced football players and quite a few young talented ones who go to the tournament. This mixture may work, but we do not know a lot about it, so taking it all together I expect them to get out of the group stage in 2nd place. If it will work out good for us we can repeat the result from the last Euros, which was the quarter-final, and after that anything can happen.”
On his pick for tournament winner, he added: “It was a crazy year with COVID so a lot of surprises can happen during the tournament, but for the winner I think it may be England, France or Portugal defend their title from Euro 2016.”
David Grech is from Slovakia and is the Director of Amica HR Limited in Lincoln.
David Grech, who is the Slovakian director of Amica HR Limited, feels proud to see his nation in the tournament.
He said: “It is the great honour for any country to take part in Euro 2020. And although Slovak football boasts the 1976 European champions, it is considered one of the outsiders in the current competition in the continental championship. As my national team, I am keen to see how they will fare in the competition.”
He believes France will win the tournament, adding: “Slovakia’s chances of winning the title of Euro 2020 are only four hundredths of a percent, according to some computer generated stats. By contrast, France is the most favourable and, in my opinion, have the greatest chance of winning the overall tournament.”
University of Lincoln student Léonie is from France.
Portugal will be hoping to defend their title, but will have a difficult task after being drawn in the ‘group of death’ alongside Germany, France and Hungary.
Léonie is an Erasmus student from France at the University of Lincoln. She is currently studying politics and has loved football since she was child, describing herself as a “fervent supporter of my national team.”
She has high hopes for her home nation and said: “During Euro 2020, I know that we are ready to win. I really think they have all their chances to win. We have the best team in years, all the players know each other’s game, and everyone is ready to do their best.
“If we don’t win, I’m sure that will not happen, I think England and Belgium have their chances. I’ll do my best to support my team and watch as many matches as possible with other students at Towers.”
Politics student Thorsten will be cheering on his native Germany.
Fellow politics student Thorsten is also hoping to watch matches at Towers, but will be cheering on his native Germany.
On Germany’s chances, he said: “I definitely expect a better performance than in the 2018 World Cup where we already lost in the group stage. We want to compete for the Championship.
“I think they have a good team with some great players, but in the end I think other teams could be stronger so if I had to guess I would say Germany makes it to the semi-final, but not further.”
When asked who will win Euro 2020, he added: “It is hard to predict but I will go with France as they have the best overall team so if they bring it all together they have a good chance.”
Cases are spiking in Lincolnshire
There has been a 113% spike in COVID-19 cases so far this week in Lincolnshire, and coronavirus-related deaths have gone up by one compared to last week.
The latest figures show there have been 275 coronavirus cases so far this week and two deaths — a rise of 113.18% compared to the 129 cases and one death last week.
The government’s COVID-19 dashboard on Friday recorded 29 new cases in Lincolnshire, 22 in North East Lincolnshire and one in North Lincolnshire.
NHS England has reported one local hospital deaths in Greater Lincolnshire’s four health trusts so far this week (but none on Friday), up from none this time last week.
On Friday, national COVID cases increased by 8,125 to 4,550,944 — the highest daily figure since late February — while deaths rose by 17 to 127,884.
In local news, around half of the new COVID-19 cases in Lincolnshire are currently thought to be the Delta variant, health bosses have said, as the county saw a small overall rise in infection rates.
Public Health England said on Friday the variant is 64% more transmissible than the Alpha (Kent) one and confirmed vaccines were less effective against it.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also come under pressure from the national organisation The Association of Directors of Public Health (UK) which has said unlocking “as early as June 21 risks reversing the significant progress we have made“.
Lincolnshire’s coronavirus case date up to June 11.
In a blog post Jim McManus, vice president, said: “We must be realistic about what lies ahead – it can be assumed that even with vaccines, variants of the virus will circulate endemically for some time to come.
“We must therefore find a way of living, working, and studying as safely as possible whilst COVID continues to circulate.
“As with most disease control, there is no magic bullet. Instead, we must continue to use a combination strategy as outlined in our guidance Living Safely with COVID.
“It is the combination of measures, each inadequate in and of themselves, that work together to disrupt transmission and reduce harm.”
The government has continuously said it would look at the data and share a decision on Monday, June 14.
Nadim Zahawi, the vaccines minister, told BBC Breakfast on Friday: “We have to be really careful so that those hard won wars against the virus are not squandered.”
“We all know the virus hasn’t gone away, it will attempt to mutate,” he said.
“The Delta variant is more infectious and more severe for those it infects. So, we have to be really careful”.
Lincolnshire on Friday also celebrated giving out 500,000 first doses of the vaccine.
Around 80% of Lincolnshire residents have now had their initial jab, while 60% have received their second.
At the G7 summit taking place in Cornwall, the UK has also announced it will donate at least 100 million surplus coronavirus vaccine doses to other countries within the next year
The latest figures show that England’s R Number has increased from 1-1.2 to 1.2-1.4, according to the latest figures.
It means that every 10 people with COVID this week will go on to infect between 12-14 more.
Greater Lincolnshire includes Lincolnshire and the unitary authorities of North and North East (Northern) Lincolnshire.
61,071 cases (up 52)
2,197 deaths (up one)
of which 1,311 hospital deaths (no change)
4,550,944 UK cases, 127,884 deaths
