Cornish clothing shop Seasalt welcomed its first Lincoln customers at the weekend.
Seasalt opened in the Cornhill Quarter in Unit 31 near to Lakeland at 9am on Saturday, March 23 after becoming one of the latest brands in the £70million redevelopment of the area.

Seasalt offered the first customer in the queue – Helen Evans – the chance to officially open the new shop by cutting the ribbon. This lucky shopper was also given a £100 Seasalt gift card to spend after queuing from 6am.
Queues of people waited to get inside on what was a busy first weekend for the shop – it was their record sales for any of their store openings.

Customers also received a complimentary Jute Shopper bag with their first purchase (whilst stocks last). The first 30 people in the queue were given a special Seasalt gift bag. Seasalt also served cupcakes with Cornish apple juice.
Seasalt has clothing shops all across England and South Wales. It was established by brothers Leigh, David and Neil Chadwick after their dad Don passed away. They wanted to create a clothing brand inspired by all the things they loved about Cornwall.

While incidents in local games may be rare, the voices of three referees in Lincolnshire underline a stark reality — the need for more action and enhanced education.
The issue is very topical this week after Tom Foley’s decision to step away from international match officiating for the foreseeable future after a “torrent of criticism and abuse,” but will continue to officiate in the Premiership.
Lincolnshire’s healthcare is preparing for winter with projects like acute respiratory hubs to address the expected surge in demand at this time of the year.
Rebecca Neno, Winter Director for the Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, stressed the significance of these hubs for local respiratory care, addressing the NHS’s recurrent winter challenges.
