Members of the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF), a multi-agency group that works together in the event of such emergency situations, were touched by some of the tales about and support from members of the public, particularly local people and businesses.

The LRF want to make sure those acts of kindness and heroism are recognised and thanked.

The mulit-agency group is planning to hold an awards ceremony in May in which we can formally recognise these people.

So who is your snow hero? Did an individual or group do something extraordinary and astounding during the recent severe wintery weather? If so, we would like to hear about them.

Awards will be presented in six categories:

• Emergency Services (individual)

• Emergency Services (group)

• Non-emergency services (individual)

• Non-emergency services (group)

• Member of the public (individual)

• Member of the public (group)

The closing date for applications is Tuesday, April 3.

Lincolnshire Police Chief Constable Bill Skelly, who is Chair of the LRF, said: “Lincolnshire was really hard hit by the recent severe weather and we had wonderful support from members of the public, particularly people who work locally in farming or businesses, and a great level of participation from the voluntary sector as well as the council and emergency services.

“At times of need like these it’s important we pause to say thank you to those who went out of their way to help others.
