The NFU says the closure could have a knock on effect for farmers who relied on the company to transport the beet.

The union is calling on British Sugar to "invest in its four factories and supply chain to ensure they operate effectively".

British Sugar says contingency plans are in place for potential problems like this.

Earlier I mentioned that a new lunch club has been set up to tackle loneliness in Skegness.

Age UK says that the town suffers from "high isolation and loneliness".

People who have been at the first lunch club today have told us what it means to them.

One lady said: "As you get older your family and your friends have other things to do, you get left alone quite a lot."

Glynnis told us that she's become lonely since her husband died earlier in the year.

Revised changes to parliamentary boundaries could affect who you vote for in the next general election if they're approved.

The government wants to cut the number of MPs in the House of Commons.

Currently the constituency boundaries look like this:

New borders could mean that people living in Heckington will vote for the Boston and Skegness MP, not the Sleaford and North Hykeham MP.

It would also mean people in Waddington would no longer vote for Lincoln's MP whilst people in parts of South Hykeham now would.

The proposed changes are pictured below in light blue:

The changes would have to be approved by parliament which some commentators say is unlikely.

The Labour Party says the proposed changes are for the government to pursue "their own political advantage rather than what is in the best interest of the country".

• A local shopping centre is searching for "toy testers"

Skegness Grammar School has been downgraded in its latest Ofsted report, from "Good" to "Requires Improvement".

The report criticised the school for not maintaining the "high standards inspectors found at the last inspection".

It focused on the quality of teaching, saying it "is not good enough across the school to ensure that all pupils make consistently strong progress."

But the report does praise the interim headteacher for what it calls a precise understanding of the school's strengths and for taking rapid action to resolve weaker aspects of the school.

It also singles out successes helping disadvantaged students.

Earlier we learned that house prices in Gainsborough are among some of the lowest in the country according to new data.

But a Lincolnshire Estate agent says the data also shows that housing prices in the county rose faster than in London in the last ten years.

Tim Downing, a partner at Pygott and Crone, says they are looking to open an office in the town.

But he does point out that while prices have risen, they still are far below the national average.

The South West ward of Gainsborough has some of the cheapest houses to buy in the country, according to new data.

Research by the BBC and the Open Data Institute in Leeds found that average house values in northern areas have dropped by more than 10% since 2007, when values are adjusted for inflation.

The average house price in South West Gainsborough district is £69,000.

In the last few years, the area has suffered "clusters of empty homes", according to West Lindsey District Council.

Trinity Street in the town (pictured) is one of the areas flagged up by a council report.
