Does Market Harborough in Leicestershire hold the secret of what it takes to be a successful market town? 

Sleaford seems to think so! A recent study into how the town can prosper has identified Market Harborough as the one to emulate.

It's got a policy of keeping everything within the town centre and has invested in regeneration.

Chamber of Commerce President Alastair Campbell shares their recipe for success:

It's slow on the A46 where it meets the A57 Saxilby Road this morning.

Not too unusual for this time of day but bear in mind you'll be facing delays if you have to use the Carholme Roundabout.

That's all from me today, but traffic updates and breaking news will continue on this page overnight.

Me and the gang will be back on Wednesday from 08:00 with all the latest from across the county.

Before then, though, I'll leave you with five things we've learned today: 

• A man was hit with a hammer before being pushed through a window in Skegness last night
• After almost a week, the police have finally finished seizing thousands of firearms from a company in Faldingworth
• A Boston Surgery has been put in special measures by the health watchdog after it was deemed "inadequate"

• The Kaiser Chiefs are coming to Market Rasen in the summer, it's been announced
• And there's been a happy ending for Lincolnshire's most notorious Shetland Pony

Have a good evening.

It's going to be cloudy throughout the night with the occasional spot of drizzle breaking out in places.

The winds will pick up as well, especially in the north, but it'll be nothing compared to the winds we're forecast on Thursday.

It's been four years in the waiting, but Horncastle finally has a youth centre once again.

Last night it was relaunched with the help of local volunteers, police and the county council.

Other community groups are also being invited to use the building, off Jubilee Way, to help with funding.     

The local Lions group has donated £500 to the youth centre, and president Steve Flood says it made sense to do so:

I don't know about a riot, but I predict a sellout at Market Rasen racecourse this summer, with the Kaiser Chiefs set to take to the stage in the centre of the course on 19 August. 

They're the latest high profile band to play the site.

In previous years Jess Glynn and Tom Jones have also appeared there.

A man from Woodhall Spa is due to be sentenced next month after admitting five sex offences. 

Jacob Cook, 30, of King Edward Road, was charged with inciting a 13-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity and possessing extreme pornographic images. 

He has been released on bail and been told to expect the possibility of a prison sentence.

Today marks the start of an inspection of East Midlands Ambulance Service, external (EMAS) - and no doubt health bosses are hoping the results have improved from last year.  

Last time, the health watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) criticised a shortage of staff and vehicles at EMAS and said in particular it needed to address safety concerns over delays in taking people to hospital.  

It wasn't all bad, though. It was rated "good" in two of five measures, including the care it provides.

EMAS says it welcomes this new inspection and has "invested a significant amount of time" addressing the CQC's concerns.

An 84-year-old woman had her handbag stolen containing an amount of cash as she returned home on Ravendale Street South shortly after 16:20 on Saturday 10 December.

The woman was knocked to the ground and although shaken by the robbery was unhurt.

Detectives are keen to speak to the man pictured in the above CCTV image in connection with this incident and anyone with information is being asked to contact police.

The MP for Lincoln, Karl McCartney, is one of the MPs who's signed a parliamentary motion expressing "no confidence" in the Commons speaker.

It now looks unlikely the motion will be debated in Parliament.  

It follows accusations that John Bercow broke the rules of impartiality by publicly criticising Donald Trump, accusing the American President of racism and sexism.

The A15 has reopened at Caenby Corner after a crash earlier today. 

However traffic is slow in the centre of Grantham this afternoon. 

We've been told it's taking 15 to 20 minutes to get down Wharf Road at the moment because of temporary traffic lights.

A pedestrian has been taken to Peterborough City Hospital after being involved in a collision with a grey Land Rover Freelander on North Street in Crowland. 

It happened at about midday opposite the Spar shop.

Police want any witnesses to get in touch.

The weather's quite pleasant today, but don't get too comfortable as we've got a storm warning for Thursday.

Storm Doris will be bring strong winds of up to 80mph and maybe even some snow in more northerly parts of the county. 

The Met Office has advised that damage to structures, interruptions to power supplies and widespread disruption to travel networks are likely as a result.

Lincolnshire Police say they've finally finished confiscating thousands of weapons from a company called Skydock, based in Faldingworth near Market Rasen.

Last week, the force said its officers were working with military firearms experts after the Home Office withdrew the firm's licence to store weapons.  

Skydock is a facility which offers ballistic testing, pyrotechnics development, high security and bomb-proof storage.

Standing within a 1,000-acre site, it has a 250m steel and concrete firing range, outdoor testing areas and indoor testing laboratories.
