  5. Fright nights at Fulbeckpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 27 October 2016

    Fulbeck is going to look positively terrifying for Hallowe'en. 

    Thousands of mannequin parts will be staged to frighten visitors as part of the "Awful Hallowe'en Walk" which runs for three days and starts in a few hours.

    All the (shudder) bits and pieces are being provided by Lincolnshire company Mannakin. They normally supply dummies for shops across the country.

    This is what the damaged mannequins look like stored at their home "Dollywood". 

    Mannequins

    The organisers of the event say it's not going to be suitable for children. I can't say I'm surprised!

  6. Controlling and selfish Lance Hart had 'last supper' before killingspublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 27 October 2016

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    The coroner at the inquest of a double-murder and suicide in Spalding has said the killer "knew exactly what he was going to do".

    Lance Hart, 57, shot his wife Claire, 50, and daughter Charlotte, 19, outside the Castle Sports Complex in Spalding on 19 July. 

    Hart then turned the gun on himself.

    Coroner Paul Cooper told the inquest that a memory stick was found in Hart's car detailing his plans and the "last supper" he had prepared. 

    The inquest also heard how Claire Hart had recently left her husband after telling a colleague that he was a "controlling and selfish man".

    This weekend marks the end of British summer time as we turn back the clocks. 

    It'll be dark before you leave work and most likely dark on the way in. 

    But it's not all bad, you get that extra hour in bed on Sunday. 

    And as always, few of us will believe it's that time of year again. Scarves at the ready!

  14. Transport hub works won't disrupt Christmas market, say Councilpublished at 14:24 British Summer Time 27 October 2016

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    The City of Lincoln Council says the Christmas market will be able to cope - despite work on Lincoln's transport hub.

    The £30 million project has closed some roads and disrupted traffic since construction work began back in August.

    Kate Ellis from the authority says the parking spaces at the Showground will take the stress away from the city centre.

    Quote Message

    One of the beauties of the Christmas market is that we operate a park-and-ride out of the Showground which has got a regular bus service into the city. We're really stressing that to visitors to Lincoln this year.

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    You're being warned about the dangers of "hoarding" by Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue.

    It comes after a fatal fire in Liverpool at the beginning of the week, when two bodies were found in a burned out house

    Fire

    Matt King from Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue says it's dangerous for everyone involved:

    Quote Message

    We're talking about small, tight passage ways through hallways with materials stacked to the ceiling... Obviously this makes it difficult for occupants to escape and also makes it very dangerous for fire and rescue services.
