We've just heard from Simon Mansfield from the Highways Agency - he says the A1 northbound near Colsterworth may be open as early as 16.00.

The road's been closed since the early hours of this morning after a fatal crash between a car and a lorry.

There's currently a diversion via the A606 and A607 which goes through Melton - something Mr Mansfield said was "not ideal".

He told BBC Radio Lincolnshire the closure had been necessary to resurface the road after the incident. Lincolnshire Police have not released details of the victims of the crash, who were travelling in the car.

The two people who were travelling in the lorry have been arrested and are being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Lincolnshire's only livestock market could be saved tonight - if councillors vote to keep it open.

Louth's market faced closure - ending more than 400 years of livestock trading in the town.

But a recent meeting of East Lindsey District Council recommended it should be refurbished instead.

It goes to a full vote this evening.

North East Lincolnshire Council wants to reduce the Europarc bus service to save money.

The route is run by stagecoach, but it's subsidised by the authority.

The bus runs at least twice a day in the week and also on a Saturday at a cost to the council of about £200,000.

There would still be a bus going to the Europarc but not as frequent.

Councillors are expected to decide if the service will be reduced at a meeting later today.

Here's the latest from the scene of a fatal crash on the A1 in Lincolnshire.

The road remains closed northbound but the southbound side has now reopened.

There are reports of very heavy traffic in Grantham town centre.

The number of people who died in the crash is still unclear and two people have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving:

This was Boston Market Place in mid-December last year.

You might remember the local council came in for some serious flak about a lack of Christmas lights.

Well since then a group has been set up to put things right and today they say there'll be a return to something a bit more like this in 2017.

More details are emerging this morning of a plan to spend £40m to kick-start economic growth in part of Lincolnshire.

South Kesteven District Council unveiled a scheme yesterday which includes two new leisure centres and a cultural quarter for Grantham.

Council leader Matthew Lee told the BBC this morning he has £30m in reserve - not enough to fund all the projects.

He explained he planned to use part of the council's £30m reserve and borrow the rest. He hopes it will give private investors the confidence to also invest in the area.

Here's some information from the Highways Agency on avoiding the crash scene on the A1 in Lincolnshire this morning:

Here's a tweet from Supt Phil Vickers, who's involved in the investigation into the crash on A1 near Grantham this morning:
