Over £11,000 has been raised for Children in Need after BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Breakfast team walked 147 miles through Lincolnshire.

Although blisters and injuries forced them to drop out halfway through the challenge, the team finished the trek with the help of BBC Lincolnshire colleagues.

Scott Dalton, Corazon Garcia, and Rob Makepeace (pictured) aimed to raise £10,000 for Children in Need, and have surpassed the target., external

They're pictured above, tearfully accepting an £800 donation from the staff at North Lincolnshire Council when they arrived at the Humber Bridge.

And now, to round off their week of ups and downs, they're turning on Lincoln's Christmas Lights.

The trucks are part of a drive to improve security after the increasing use of vehicles as weapons against pedestrians.

Vehicles were driven by terrorists into crowds at a Christmas market in Germany last year, into crowds in Nice in 2016, and in the London Bridge Terror attack earlier this year.

At its height five engines and a team of firefighters were tackling the blaze.

Locals say the fire is under control and is no longer as fierce as it was at its peak.

Lincs Fire and Rescue are telling the public to close their doors and windows.

The animals at the nearby wildlife park aren't thought to be at risk from the fire itself.

A bridge to cross over the railway on Lincoln's Brayford Wharf has been approved after an appeal by Network Rail.

Image source, Network Rail

The bridge (artists impression pictured above) was originally rejected by The City of Lincoln Council because it didn't include plans for a lift to provide access for wheelchair users.

Plans for a bridge over the crossing go back to 2013, but Network Rail said it couldn't afford to build a bridge with wheelchair access in 2015.

Network Rail says it's delighted the plans have been approved because it's one of the "highest risk level crossings in the region".

It previously said the bridge was necessary to discourage pedestrians from "misusing the crossing and putting their lives at risk".

There's a growing problem across our area of private parking companies wrongly issuing tickets, according to MP Sir Greg Knight.

He's now leading a charge in Parliament to stop motorists being "ripped off".

The campaign is being welcomed by Simone Riley from Lincoln (pictured), who was fined after parking legally two years ago.

MP Sir Greg Knight says he thinks some companies should lose their right to get the motorists' info from the DVLA.

There's been a 28% increase in the number of tickets issued this year compared with last year.

The International Parking Community, who represent the industry, says that the vast majority of parking companies issue fines fairly.

There have been further calls in Parliament to try and protect jobs at BAE Systems in Brough by bringing forward orders for replacing the Red Arrows Hawk jets.

BAE Systems has announced plans to cut almost 2,000 jobs across the UK, including 400 in Brough.

The former Labour Defence Minister, Kevan Jones, says he's concerned new jets would have to be built abroad and that the future of the display team would be uncertain.

But Defence Minister, Harriet Baldwin, said the Red Arrows aren't at risk:

The disgraced dad of X Factor star Ella Henderson can now be sentenced after his fraud convictions were confirmed by Appeal Court judges.

Sean Patrick Henderson, 51, of Tetney Manor, Tetney, Lincolnshire, was accused of VAT and investment frauds relating to his business dealings.

He has always denied any dishonesty, but was convicted of tax evasion and a fraud conspiracy at Sheffield Crown Court after trials last year.

Henderson has not yet been sentenced and today took his case to London's Appeal Court, where top judges upheld the convictions.

BBC Radio Lincolnshire's breakfast show team have completed their epic challenge for BBC Children in Need.

Despite blisters, injuries, tears and a tag-team finish, Scott Dalton, Corazon Garcia and Rob Makepeace have crossed the finish line for their 147-mile journey.

The team intended to walk the whole of the Viking Way through Lincolnshire but after injuries, the baton was passed on to other members of the Radio Lincolnshire team for a short time.

But just a few minutes ago, the original trio crossed the finish line.

If you want to donate to their cause, follow this link, external, they're only a short way off their £10,000 target.

The first phase of Lincoln's new 1,000 space car park opens today, ahead of schedule.

The Lincoln Central car park on Broadgate is part of a £30m investment into a "Transport Hub" in the city centre.

Hundreds of spaces will be available from midday and it's hoped the top floors will be ready in time for the Lincoln Christmas Market.

Plans had been turned down by councillors after Network Rail said installing lifts was unaffordable.

There's fundraising happening all across the county for Children in Need...

We've got our Breakfast Team walking an excessive number of miles, all for a good cause.

A charity which benefits from Children in Need funding has spoken of the "incredible impact" the money has on the children it supports.

The South Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Service helps families in South Holland and Boston who've been affected by domestic abuse.

They've been taking families out for special days out (pictured above, is a child's thank you note to the charity) to help them recover from a difficult home life.

Marie Chapman from the group says they find "that these basic "building blocks" of family relationships are missing; this has a devastating impact upon the development of children and young people, and their relationships with mothers too."

Domestic abuse can, according to the charity, also have a huge effect on the early development of the children involved:

Spare a thought for Lorraine Shaw, the pupils' teacher, because they have keys to the castle's dungeon...
