Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner will give out speed guns as part of a new bid to reduce speeding on the county's roads.

The police already supply signs and other equipment to communities to help them get their speeding message across.

But in a measure to be unveiled at his first road safety summit on Friday, Mr Jones will say he will now supply speed guns to allow residents to catch drivers in the act.

Offenders won't be given fines, but will be sent letters to say they have been caught and offering road safety advice.

Julie Doorne, from Sleaford, says many people and animals can be badly affected by the unexpected loud explosions - especially around Bonfire Night.

But Sally Bates, who runs an East Yorkshire-based fireworks and organised displays company, says this year fireworks have been re-regulated to a European standard - with all noise levels controlled and products inspected on import.

She adds that she's keen to develop displays which are considered quieter, including using music or quieter fireworks:

A woman from Lincolnshire says she'll continue her campaign asking for a change in the law on fireworks.

Julie Doorne, from Sleaford, has set up a petition for tougher restrictions on the use of fireworks saying they cause distress and suffering to animals.

As well as animals, Julie says lots of people can be affected by the unexpected loud explosions such as those with autism, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

After three weeks, her petition has reached over 20,000 signatures.

Two years ago, she launched another petition and when it reached 100,000 signatures it was debated in Parliament, with the government rejecting calls to change the law.

She's calling on the government to start collecting statistics from all emergency services to understand the size of the problem and to only have displays on certain days so people can prepare:

Volunteers to help with two new exhibitions celebrating 100 years of the RAF in Lincolnshire, external are being sought ahead of their launch next year.

The Collection in Lincoln and RAF Scampton are both set to showcase Lincolnshire's role in defending the country from the air.

The exhibition at RAF Scampton will run from 6 April until 24 August, while the exhibition at The Collection will be open from 26 May until 9 September.

Dave Harrigan, from Lincolnshire County Council, says volunteers are wanted to "share their passion for aviation heritage" with the thousands of visitors expected to come along.

A review into Lincolnshire's overnight street lights switch-off is due to be held this week.

County councillors are expected to assess the impact of turning off thousands of street lights between midnight and 06:00.

Any changes which emerge from this review need to be cost-neutral because savings still need to be made, according to the council.

Sarah Dodds, deputy leader of the Labour group on the county council, says at the moment many people aren't happy with the switch-off:

None of the clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire offer couples the government's recommended three cycles of IVF treatment on the NHS, it's emerged.

Three of the four CCGs only offer one round of IVF, a BBC investigation has found.

In Hull, it's two and you can apply for a third, but only if you go through a funding review.

Campaigners argue that infertility is a disease and everyone should have access to three cycles of IVF on the NHS, regardless of where they live.
