The numbers are still being crunched, but it looks like there'll be quite a few new faces on Lincolnshire County Council:

This shows the swing in voter numbers between 2013 and this year:

Conservative:  From 35% to 53%

UKIP:  From 24% to 7%

Labour: 18% to 19%

Lincs Independents:  11% to 6%

Lib Dem: 4% to 5%

Independents: 5% to 6%

Nick Smith, chairman of UKIP in Lincolnshire, says "we're not going away" despite his party losing all their seats on the council.

Mr Smith, who is standing for UKIP in Lincoln in the 8 June general election, concedes: "This is a temporary glitch for us."

Asked if people feel there is no point voting UKIP since the country voted for Brexit, he tells BBC Radio 4: "Probably, maybe."

He claims voters are currently "buying into" the Conservative argument that if they are given "a magic mandate", they will deliver a magic Brexit - and predicts those same voters will return to UKIP when that doesn't happen.

Eight major education unions have criticised a school academy chain which operates in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.

The unions, which represent headteachers, teachers and support staff, have raised concerns with the David Ross Education Trust over a number of issues.

The union Unison, along with seven other teachers' unions, says the group is proposing to cut £1m from school budgets and 40 jobs across 32 schools in the region.

The David Ross Education Trust has told us it has contacted ACAS to try to resolve the issues raised by the union at the earliest opportunity.

I've spent the day with the organisers of the Spark Festival, external - which starts at Lincoln Cathedral tomorrow and runs until Sunday.

Some amazing machines on display, and it's all about celebrating Lincolnshire engineering.

The theme this year is Back to the Future, which explains why some of these vintage motors - including a Formula One car built in Bourne - will be on display alongside the latest innovations.
