Easter may be just around the corner, but money's already being collected for Boston's Christmas lights.

A new committee of volunteers has been set up with the aim of raising £10,000 following criticism over a  lack of festive lights last year .  

The town's 2016 Christmas lights, criticised on social media as "dismal", prompted disgruntled residents to brand the local council Scrooges.  

Dylan Taylor, chairman of the Christmas in Boston Group, says cash is already coming in to try and help make 2017's display one to remember:

A 53-year-old man in an electric wheelchair has suffered a fractured shin after being involved in a collision with a taxi in Grimsby.

It happened on Station Approach between 11:00 and 12:00 on Friday 24 March.

The driver, believed to be a woman, stopped briefly but left the area without exchanging details.

Anyone who saw the incident is being asked to contact police.

Charges for the bins have risen to £40 a year from this week, and the number of subscribers to the scheme has dropped by 2,000 in comparison with last year.

The authority says it can no longer afford to subsidise the service by £450,000 each year.

Parkinson's affects the brain, which gets progressively damaged over time, and there's currently no cure.

The former Wales international (pictured right) was told in January that he was part of manager Marcus Bignot's future plans but has not heard anything since.

"But I've not signed anything as such. There's one or two others in the same boat."
