As I’ve moved away from Lincolnshire I will no longer be able to update this website with local news etc. I will continue to host and maintain the site. And to add local history facts and photos as they become available. If anyone has articles to add or is interested in helping with the website please contact me using the form on the bottom right of the page. Thank you. RK

On about 16th April 2019 the lead was stolen from the chancel roof at All Saints Church, Hough on the Hill. The PCC is assessing the damage and appealing to the local community to be vigilant about the lead remaining on the church. Any suspicious activity in the vicinity of the church should be reported to the Police on 999 or 101 as appropriate. Or alert the church wardens, Jill Lewis and John Lord.
A ‘beacon of light’ was lit on the Lincoln edge near Hough on the Hill at 7pm on 11th November as part of the Battle’s Over events marking the centenary of the end of the Great War.
A ceremony was held outside Belton Church on 11th November to re-dedicate the newly restored war memorial plaque and gates. A number of relatives of the Belton men who served in the Great War attended.
Fibre-to-the-Property (FTTP) broadband is set to go live in Brandon on 28 Nov. It should be available to order a few days later, with internet speeds of up to 330Mbps. Not all providers do FTTP and the provider/comparison websites cannot show prices or accept orders until the system is live. Lincolnshire Council plan to provide high speed broadband to remaining properties as soon as possible. In the meantime, relatively high speed broadband is available from www.jhcs.com or www.ineedbroadband.co.uk. More information at Onlincolnshire.
The main road through Brandon is due to get a 40 mph speed limit later this year. We’re expecting more details of when the signs will be installed soon (last update Oct 2018).
