Census 2021 - You've still got time 
image.
 
 

Census Day has been and gone but not to worry, you've still got time. Whether you complete it online or on paper, make sure you're counted this year.
It's important all of us fill in our census forms, that's why it's a legal requirement to take part, you must fill in your census, if you haven't already.
Whatever your needs, there are support services to help you. If you need help, visit www.census.gov.uk or call 0800 141 2021.
The census is a once-in-a-decade survey that gives us the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales. It has been carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941.
Understanding the needs of the nation helps everyone from central government to local organisations, such as councils and health authorities, plan and fund public services across England and Wales. Census outputs inform where public funding is spent on services like transport, education and health – on cycle routes, schools and dental surgeries.
The census sheds light on the needs of different groups and communities, and the inequalities people are experiencing, ensuring the big decisions facing the country following the coronavirus pandemic and EU exit are based on the best information possible.
A big thank you to everyone who has filled in the census, it's hugely appreciated. The answers you've given will help shape your local services for years to come.

Party in the park cancelled for 2021
Party in the Park that was scheduled to be held on Saturday, July 24, 2021 is cancelled due to concerns around public safety and the uncertainty of holding events. Last year's Music and Beer Festival was due to relaunch in 2020 as 'Party In the Park' funded by Boston Town Area Committee with live music, a range of activities and food stalls, however the global pandemic COVID-19 meant this was not able to take place. The safety of visitors and businesses are paramount and therefore the Committee and Boston Borough Council have made the difficult but understandable decision to cancel this year's event. For events in Boston please visit www.visitbostonuk.com – you can also add your own events for FREE to the website.
