Inmates at the North Sea Camp open prison in Boston have been working on a rehabilitation project which has saved taxpayers £300,000.

A member of staff from within the hospitals trust says there've been problems since Thames Ambulance Service took over the running of non-emergency ambulance services in July.

The BBC's been told the service doesn't give a pick-up time, which has led to people waiting all day in discharge units.

Cases of patients having to go back onto a ward have also been reported.

Lincolnshire West Clinical Commissioning Group, which awarded the £25m five-year contract last year, says it's aware of a few incidents and is working with Thames Ambulance Service to resolve the issues as soon as possible.

You'll soon be able to watch live streamed opera and get married at Lincoln's New Theatre Royal, external - but not necessarily at the same time!

It's a year since the venue reopened with a new team at the helm.

Last year a BBC investigation revealed a string of performers, investors and contractors hadn't been paid by the theatre's former management.

Some people leading the trust which runs Lincolnshire's hospitals should consider their positions, the health watchdog has said.

It emerged yesterday that United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT) now has a deficit of £30.7m and NHS experts have been drafted in for 10 weeks to help fix its finances.

A lot of that debt has been racked up by a shortage of doctors, according to ULHT, meaning rotas have to be filled with expensive agency staff.

However, Sarah Fletcher, chief executive of Healthwatch Lincolnshire, says these problems are nothing new and the trust's management hasn't helped matters:

The Australian Caleb Ewan won Stage Three of the Tour of Britain in a close finish.

The 23-year-old Orica-Scott rider also won the opening stage of the race.

Stage Four takes place tomorrow from Mansfield to Newark-on-Trent and today's winner will be in the leader's Green Jersey.

The crowds have started gathering near Central Park in Scunthorpe for the end of Stage Three of the Tour of Britain.

Setting off from Normanby Hall at 11:00 this morning, 120 cyclists will soon be racing to the finish.

Some of the world's top cyclists are taking part in the race, including Olympic medalist Mark Cavendish.
