Karl reiterated his backing for small businesses in Lincoln and across the County and that his door is always open to take up issues in Parliament and with the Government.

Karl, said: "I really enjoyed speaking to local small businesses about the issues they face as well as the new opportunities.

"Small businesses in Lincoln and across the whole County are the lifeblood of our local economy. Their entrepreneurial spirit provides much-needed jobs, and investment in local infrastructure and contributes hugely to the success of the whole area.
