That's it for this week everyone. I hope we've been able to keep you up-to-date with all things Lincolnshire. We'll be back from 08:00 on Monday.

Until then I'll leave you with five things we've learned today:

• Lincolnshire Police are putting a 48-hour dispersal order in place from tomorrow because they've been tipped off about a hare coursing event
• A Lincoln man has been fined £1,500 because his garden smelled so bad his neighbours couldn't open their windows
• Farmers near the coast will be bearing the brunt of the new bird flu restrictions
• A protest is planned against a travelling circus when it visits the county this weekend 
• He might have been less than a day old but that didn't stop Freddie Carrot from joining the Junior Imps Club

Have a good weekend.

Brighton & Hove Albion winger Joe Ward extends his loan deal at Lincoln City for a further two months.

Oliver Mountain, of Claremont Street, Lincoln, let rubbish, old furniture and dog mess build up in the garden of his rented property in Anderby Drive over several months.   

After his neighbours complained to the council about the smell and the swarms of flies being attracted to the property, he was given 14 days to dump the rubbish at a tip but failed to do so.
