Long-running negotiations over a play area on a Grantham housing estate have finally ended - with plans now in place.

South Kesteven District Council ran a public consultation on the park in Springfield Road two years ago, but it's taken until now to get agreement from everybody involved.

The project is being paid for with money contributed for community facilities by builders Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey as a requirement of their planning permissions to build 400 homes on the site.

Lincoln's new park and ride service has passed a major milestone - with more than 10,000 people using it since its launch in February.

The route which runs from Waitrose, close to the Lincoln bypass, into the city centre, costs £2.50, with accompanied children free.

The service is run by the Lincoln Business Improvement Group (BIG).

Chief executive Matt Corrigan says a survey's been carried out among passengers asking what improvements they want.

It shows people want clearer and more permanent signage from the bypass and more posters on board the buses to show the route and the destination.

Here's the latest from my colleague Nick Hope who's with the British marathon swimming squad in Budapest for the world championships.

Jack Burnell, who's from North Hykeham near Lincoln and was born in Scunthorpe, has just missed out on a place again.

He was disqualified at the Olympics - leading to a bout of anger followed by a new determination to win.

Hundreds of people are calling for something to be done to stop people racing their cars along Cleethorpes prom.

Cleethorpes ward councillor Matthew Brown has put a petition together with 400 signatures which he'll present to full council on Thursday. He says the problem has been going on for 30 years.

Humberside Police say they were aware of the problem and wanted people to contact them with concerns so they could get a full picture of the issue.

GPs in Lincolnshire say one in four of their appointments are now taken up by minor ailments that can be handled elsewhere.

New figures released by the county's NHS show people are going to the doctors with problems like colds and hayfever, which they can treat themselves.

A Lincolnshire GP says on average he wastes one day a week dealing with patients who could be treated elsewhere.

Dr Radi Sultan - who works in Ingham - says too many people come to his practice with minor illnesses like coughs and colds.

Two people have been arrested for possession of so called 'legal highs' in Lincoln.

The men one in his 20s and the other in his 30s were spotted in St Swithin's Square (below) at the weekend.

It comes after local businesses and residents complained about anti-social behaviour in the area.

The police are reminding people psychoactive substances became illegal at the end of last year. The men have been released while investigations continue.

East Yorkshire is the only part of our area where both men and women can expect to live longer than the national average, according to Public Health England figures released today.

Life expectancy rates in Hull, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire are all falling below the average for males and females.

University College London expert Sir Michael Marmot said he was by the national situation, saying it was "entirely possible" austerity was affecting how long people live.

All the food on the menu at a new café in Lincoln is past its sell-by date - but that's not putting off the customers.

Everything you see in the video below has been rejected by supermarkets and bought up by the city's Mint Lane Cafe.

Crucially the food is not past its use-by date - meaning the cafe can offer a three-course meal for £3!

Senior police officers say they want half of Lincolnshire's front line police to be trained in the use of Tasers.

More officers are about to be trained - but force chiefs say they don't expect to see a spike in the weapons' use.

The force says between April 2016 and March 2017 a Taser was drawn from a holster 209 times and reholstered without use 85 times.

Figures show a Taser was fully discharged in that year just 25 times - with the threat of its use being adequate on all other occasions.

A new centre to house police, fire and ambulance staff in Lincoln will improve services in the city, according to leaders of the three emergency services.

Plans have been submitted for the development on South Park Avenue on the site of the current fire and ambulance HQs.

Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones says it's an ideal base for all three services.

Work will begin on the project in October if planning permission is granted.
