More Lincolnites gave anonymous information about crime in the city following a campaign from Crimestoppers. The crime-fighting charity says it received dozens of calls after its three-week Gauge Your Behaviour campaign in Lincoln.
“Our message that alcohol is no excuse for causing criminal damage really hit home and reminded everyone coming into Lincoln for a night out to ensure they gauge their behaviour,” said Sue Langley, Crimestoppers’ East Midlands Regional Manager.
As part of the campaign, which lasted from July 16 to August 6, people took part in Beer Goggles challenges (pictured above), trying to walk with a tray of drinks, and also staff in the city’s pubs and bars wore Gauge Your Behaviour clothing.
Taxi drivers in Lincoln displayed the campaign's message on their cars and in tipseats inside for three weeks.
“I would like to thank everyone involved in the campaign and those members of the public who took part,” Langley added.
The campaign was run in partnership with other groups including Lincolnshire Police, Lincolnshire County Council, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service, East Midlands Ambulance Service, and the City of Lincoln Anti Social Behaviour Team.

A Lincolnshire farmer says this year’s Brussel sprouts are going to be the best they’ve been for many, many years.
Robin Hancox, managing director at Lincolnshire Field Products and FreshLinc haulage firm, has been speaking out about the ‘extreme pressure’ facing the industry – but he says the weather has been kind to the country’s vegetables.
He said: “I can categorically say that the quality of the Brussel sprouts for this year’s Christmas lunch will be of the highest quality that it’s been for many, many years.”
But Mr Hancox says the pressures facing the industry mean “inevitably prices are going to have to go up”.
From 4am on Tuesday, December 7, anyone wishing to travel to the UK must show proof of a negative PCR or LFD pre-departure test, taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. This applies to vaccinated passengers and children aged 12 and above.
Nigeria will slo be added to the travel red list from 4am Monday, December 6, following 21 cases of Omicron reported in England which are linked to travel from this country, with 134 UK cases now reported in total.
New Government analysis indicates the window between infection and infectiousness may be shorter for the Omicron COVID variant, which increases the efficacy of pre-departure testing as it is more likely to identify positive cases before travel.
Airlines will be required to check for pre-departure tests alongside completed Passenger Locator Form, and passengers will not be allowed to board a flight without providing evidence of a negative test result.
Given the reduced incubation period of the Omicron variant, passengers are advised to take the pre-departure test as close as possible to their scheduled departure to the UK and no earlier than 48 hours before travelling.
The Government said these additional measures are vital to delay the import of additional cases and slow the rise in cases within the UK.
All temporary measures will be reviewed after three weeks to ensure that they remain necessary and proportionate, and this will take place on December 20.
