Happy New Year from the Economic Development Team at North Kesteven District Council. We wish you a prosperous year ahead.
Get ahead on your business growth and development in the new year, by joining a dedicated programme of business support, available through Business Lincolnshire:
On Saturday, December 20, North Kesteven District Council hosted WinterLight at Sleaford Market Place, a community event celebrating the winter solstice.
Visitor numbers exceeded expectations, creating a vibrant atmosphere and driving significant economic benefits for local businesses. Footfall during event hours (3pm–8pm) surged by an impressive 1,064% compared to the average of the previous three Saturdays.
This increase translated into more customers for shops, cafés, and restaurants, reinforcing the value of community events in supporting the local economy.
Thank you to all businesses who contributed to making this event a success.
Applications for the Flourishing Community Grant close on Sunday, January 11. Grants of up to £1,500 (10% match funding required) are available for projects that make communities healthier, safer, and more inclusive.
Funding can support capital items such as defibrillators, play equipment, benches, and accessibility improvements. All projects must be completed by March 1, 2026.
