Earlier I told you that Lincoln's NHS walk-in centre is set to close early next year.

It's been a controversial decision, in fact 94% of people opposed the closure in a consultation.

The centre will only shut if the health bosses at Lincolnshire West CCG can prove that people are aware of the other services they could use instead.

They say those services definitely exist, but they acknowledged that a lot of people don't know about them, and that's what they need to address before the walk-in centre can close.

What do you think? Should the centre close? Get in touch via email, Facebook , externalor Twitter, external.

Pigeon fanciers in Lincolnshire say their sport is under threat because of the increasing numbers of birds of prey.

The sport's governing body says it could die out by 2030 unless something is done.

Peter Rogers from Burgh le Marsh near Skegness (above) says too many predators are nesting on flats and churches. He says he's lost a dozen birds over the last few months.

But the RSPB says studies show that out of all racing pigeons that are lost only 14% are killed by birds of prey.
