A hyperlocal news title has adopted a symbol of its patch to temporarily take pride of place in its office.

Lincoln-based title The Lincolnite has lent its support to the Lincoln Imp Trail by adopting an imp sculpture called Wind.

Wind will be among 30 imp sculptures to appear across the city between July and September as part of the trail, organised by Lincoln Business Improvement Group.

Until then, it has been put on display in window of The Lincolnite’s office in the city.

Editor Daniel Ionescu, pictured with Wind, said: “The Imp is certainly the most recognisable mascot for Lincoln, and we won’t let a year’s delay spoil the fun of another trail in the city.

“The Lincolnite’s community dedication and unparalleled reach across Greater Lincolnshire meant it was a no-brainer to get involved with Lincoln BIG and help make the trail a success.

“While lockdown is still in full swing, people can check out Wind from our office window, but we’ll be taking him out soon, so get in touch if you’d like to get him to visit your business or shop.”
