  1. Waste sticker blunder in Boston

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    If you live in Boston then you may have got a few more garden waste stickers than you bargained for in the last few days. 

    Residents can pay to receive the service.

    The Borough Council sends you the sticker which you put on your bin so they know to pick it up.

    But there's been a bit of a miscalculation - Roy Hackford in Fishtoft got 14!

    He's not the only one either, the council say it's down to a system fault which has now been fixed.

    Customers who have received multiple yellow stickers will only be charged for the service they have requested. Our in-cab systems will show the correct amount of services for each property and we have a log of those customers that have received extra service stickers."

    It's hoped the scheme will ease congestion in the city centre. 

    Matt Corrigan from Lincoln Business Improvement Group says this could be just the beginning:

    These things take time. We're not going to be inundated from day one, it'll be a slow burn but I think gradually it'll become part of the infrastructure of the city and something that we hope will be sustainable long term.

  8. Traffic and travel: Slow traffic in Holdingham

    BBC Travel

    Not a bad start on the roads this week, but it's a little slow on the A17 in both directions where it meets the A15.

    If you're heading that way allow for some extra time.
