Lincolnshire has one of the lowest crime rates in England and Wales and offending's fallen sharply over the last decade in the county. 

But today's crime figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that last year recorded crime in Lincolnshire rose overall by 1%. 

The ONS says that's partly down to an increase of a third in reported sex offences as high-profile cases have prompted more victims to come forward. 

The police also recorded more violence and weapons offences. But theft was down by 6% per cent and domestic burglary in Lincolnshire, fell by 8%.

Sutton Bridge is already seen as a sign that you're leaving or entering Lincolnshire at the very far south-east of the county.

But the landmark swing bridge will soon be joined by a £900,000 marina, with work starting on Monday next week.

It'll have room for 20 boats and it's expected to be ready by the beginning of next year. 

The cash has come from Lincolnshire County Council and money from developers.

Cast your mind back to when you were in your teens, learning to drive, getting your first job.

Billy Spooner from Boston's just turned 18, just about to take his driving test - but as first proper jobs go this is pretty impressive.

He's become a professional golfer and he's thought to be one of the youngest in the country. Big things are expected for him 

Billy's now on the books of the same agent who represents Masters winner Danny Willett.  I've been talking to him, if you want to hear the full interview - it's here.
