Animals lovers in Lincolnshire are invited to give permanent homes to battery hens who are on death row., external

The British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT) is hosting a re-homing event in Stamford on September 16 and the plan is to save a total of 200 hens who would otherwise face slaughter. Homes are still needed for 167 of the hens.

North Lincolnshire Council is carrying out a consultation with residents to get their views on proposed changes to the Council Tax Support Scheme for 2018/19.

Council tax support is currently provided to around 14,000 households in North Lincolnshire at an annual cost of approximately £9m - this includes pension and working age households.

Eligibility for accessing the council tax support for both working age and pension age households is dependent on levels of household income.

Currently working age households in receipt of council tax reduction support receive up to 77% of their council tax bill supported through the reduction.

Under the new proposals for 2018/19, working age households who are in receipt of disability benefits will be protected at the same level, as will pension age households. Other working age households will receive a discount of up to 50% on their annual council tax bill.

The consultation will run from 8 September to 10 November.

Lincolnshire Police are looking to speak to this man following a theft from a shop in Boston last month.

Unit manager Victoria Wilkins says it's a positive for the community midwives and patients.

Patients at a Skegness GP are having to queue outside the practice to get an appointment.

A local GP says a surgery in nearby Wainfleet closing is causing problems at Hawthorne Medical Practice.

The town's MP Matt Warman says it's an unacceptable way to treat patients but the surgery is trying to explain to patients that queuing is not the best way to get an appointment.

Hawthorne Medical Practice says it offers a wide range of appointments including telephone consultation with a duty doctor.

It says patients are also able to book online.

An issue with a gear pinion grounded most of the historic aircraft which make up the Coningsby-based Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) in August, including the Lancaster - one of only two left flying in the world.

It is not known at this stage if any of the affected aircraft are expected to appear at the inaugural Scampton Airshow over the weekend.

Speaking after the fault was identified, Sqn Ldr Andy Millikin, the flight's commanding officer, said they were hoping to "get them back into the blue as soon we can".

Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley says the Imps have the smallest squad in the Football League.

His comments came after the transfer of Simeon Akinola from Barnet to Lincoln fell through earlier this week.

But Cowley says he still has faith in the players he has at his disposal:

Hundreds of people are celebrating after it was announced yesterday the historical Barge pub in Grimsby has been saved.

It was originally announced a couple of weeks ago the floating pub in the Riverhead would close to make way for a new cinema and restaurants.

But after meetings with North East Lincolnshire council yesterday its future is secure.

All eyes will be on Lincolnshire's skies this weekend for the first Scampton Airshow.

Confirmed aircraft include a Belgian F-16 and a French Alpha Jet along with local favourites the Red Arrows and the RAF Typhoon.

Today, aircraft from across the world are arriving, with hundreds of people there to greet them.

Here's just a taster of the first arrivals:
