What We Did May 2026

After our first meeting at the end of April, we’ve spent May steadily rolling out projects, developing ideas and taking stock, allowing us to finally bring you our first monthly update.

The first step is establishing our online presence. We’ve been busy creating our social media accounts, reserving our website domain, putting placeholders in place and planning our wider social strategy. While this is still in its infancy, we’re steadily building the systems that we’ll use to communicate important updates, local issues and practical solutions to you all.

WHERE LINCOLN COMES TO BE HEARD.

While our online presence is important to getting the message out, real-world action remains the most important part of our work.

We’ve been hard at work, whether rain or sun, to get the Restore Britain leaflets in your letterboxes. Many people still don’t know that Restore Britain is even an option, let alone that branches such as our Lincoln Branch have already been established in hundreds of constituencies across the country. We’ve set up an internal leafletting tracker, and I’m delighted to say that over the last month alone, our small team of five volunteer leafletters have completed 474 streets and over 3,000 homes, apartments and flats across the wider Lincoln area.

GETTING THE MESSAGE INTO PEOPLES HOMES.

Alongside leafletting, we’ve started some of our local initiatives. With a play on the familiar phrase “See it, Say it, Sorted”, we want to cut out the middleman. “See it, Sort it” has become one of our initiatives. We no longer want to live in a country that breeds apathy, and rebuilding civic responsibility is the first step towards changing that. We are encouraging everyone who feels the same way to sort it when you see it, whatever that may be.

While on the surface it might seem like just another litter-picking group, it’s much more important than that, because we are backed by a national effort to change the culture. Other groups focus only on the surface-level problems of litter, graffiti and fly-tipping, while Restore Britain aims to address the underlying causes. Rubbish is thrown in our parks and rivers, graffiti is sprayed across homes and historic buildings and mounds of fly-tipping appear because we’ve collectively lost respect for this great country and the communities within it. We could invest unlimited time and money into clean-up projects and still be fighting a losing battle if we fail to change the attitudes and behaviours that allow these problems to continue. Restore Britain believes meaningful national renewal begins with rebuilding pride, responsibility and civic duty.

CHANGE STARTS WELL BEFORE THE BALLOT BOX.

And lastly, we’ve also been taking stock. Many of us are new to local politics, but we’ve all seen the issues and finally feel that a party is able to represent us. Over the coming months we will build up a database of known issues, resolve them immediately where we can, and escalate to the appropriate authorities when we can’t, and keep you all up to date with a tracker on our website. We want to be completely transparent on what we do and achieve and what we fail to even make a dent in, because then we will know once we have power, what needs addressing the most.

We want our work and campaigns to always remain visible, our people approachable, and our message clear.

We will put Lincoln first and Restore Britain.
