There's a fresh dawn over Grimsby's East Marsh as a new chief of police in northern Lincolnshire vows to take the drug dealers out.

Over the last few months there have been a number of drugs raids in Grimsby's East Marsh, where residents have described living in fear.

Ch Supt Christine Wilson says Humberside Police is focused on wiping-out the problem and taking apart organised crime gangs.

Police have appealed for help after they were called to a sheep which appeared to have suffered what they called a "deliberate dog attack".

Officers say they think the incident happened between 16.00 yesterday and 09.00 today in a field off Copper Street, Bucknall, near Horncastle.

Anyone with information should contact Lincolnshire Police on 101.

Grimsby's Police Station is 60 years old today.

It was built with 14 cells for men and 6 for women and all the mod cons of 1950's policing.

There were 168 sergeants and constables. Six of those were women. There were 195 special officers.

I went along to a celebration at the police station yesterday and met 86-year-old Len Rayner, one of the original serving officers.

Len told me he worked here till he retired in 1983 and says in those days, because they walked the streets, they saw much more than if they were in a car.

Police have appealed for help to track down gardening equipment which was stolen in a raid on a property in Spalding.

They've just issued these pictures in the hope that somebody may have had them offered for sale.

Police say the thieves forced their way into a container on Monks House Lane, Spalding on 5 September.

A 24-hour service at Grantham Hospital could be in place by winter.

Health trusts are collaborating to bring in a temporary measure that would replace an overnight A&E service which closed 13 months ago.

Campaigners from two groups which have been calling for the re-introduction of 24-hour care in the town have given the scheme a cautious welcome.

But they also say the plan is currently "light on detail" and they're concerned that there won't be the right staff to deal with genuine medical emergencies.

A lady from Grantham has been reunited with her precious wedding bracelet after it was found by workers at a tip.

Kath Groom lost the bracelet after dropping off some gardening waste at Grantham's household waste recycling centre.

But on a second visit to the tip a fortnight later, she was reunited with the bracelet after one of the workers overheard her talking about it.

"The chaps at the tip were absolutely marvellous and a credit to the organisation - I will always be grateful to them," Kath said.

Network Rail says it can't afford to build a footbridge over a railway line in Lincoln if it has to include a lift.

There's already a footbridge over the level crossing on Lincoln's High Street but there were plans for a crossing over the railway line at the Brayford Wharf (pictured below).

City of Lincoln council rejected the plans because they didn't include a lift.

An appeal is in process but Rachel Lowe from Network Rail says that if the appeal fails they may "have to consider" not building the footbridge at all.

Giles Academy in Old Leake, near Boston, was criticised for having maths and science grades below the national average for "too long"; and for the performance of 6th form students being "too low" in academic subjects.

The report also said that "far too many" pupils were skipping school or turning up late for lessons.

But the 970 pupil school is praised for being a "harmonious community" where pupils are taught to respect one another.

The school also received approval for supporting pupils who speak English as a second language.
