It's all systems go as the 35th Lincoln Christmas Market opens for business.

Around 250,000 people are expected to visit the event over the next four days.

Two hundred stalls have been set up in the Cathedral Quarter.

For the first time Lincolnshire Police will be using drones to monitor the crowds.

It's part of extra security measures this year - including armed police and road blocks.

Here's the latest on the Hull Trains service which has been affected by a fuel leak on the East Coast Mainline between Peterborough and Grantham:

There are problems on the East Coast Mainline at the moment after a Hull Trains service suffered a fuel leak after hitting something on the tracks which ruptured fuel tanks.

The affected service is the 09:48 train from London to Hull and it's currently at a standstill between Peterborough and Grantham.

Network Rail says the driver reported hitting something and seeing smoke so the train was brought to a stop.

There was no smoke in the carriages so passengers didn't need to be evacuated, according to Network Rail.

The company adds that the train is going to be towed away as soon as possible, the fuel spill is being cleared up and nearby track is being inspected to ensure there's no obstruction.

Two of the four lines have now reopened, so trains are once again moving through the area.

Plans to replace a derelict pavilion in Skegness have moved a step forward.

The building in Tower Gardens is in such a state surveyors say it can't be saved.

Meanwhile, a public consultation in the town revealed 84% of residents who took part are in favour of paying more council tax to help fund the plans.

Skegness Town Council wants to build something for the community on the site and last night voted to move on to the next planning stage.

Work has got underway to improve four miles of flood defences on the Lincolnshire coast.

Nearly £2 million has been invested to raise the banks which were topped by a tidal surge on the evening of 5 December 2013.

Witham Fourth District Internal Drainage Board is leading the project which will protect thousands of homes and agricultural land between Boston and Skegness.

The scheme is planned to be complete by August 2018.

I've just been out for a spin in the latest addition to the Lincolnshire Police fleet - it's a £36,000 Ford Mustang.

But, after some criticism on social media, the force is keen to tell you that the car's only on loan for the Lincoln Christmas Market.

Officers say they hope it will encourage people to interact with the police and see them as more approachable.

On the quick ride round I just took through the city centre, it certainly turned some heads.

There is queuing traffic and one lane is closed after a collision between two cars and a lorry on the A1 northbound near Long Bennington this afternoon.

The accident is reported as being just before the Long Bennington turn-off.

Homes in West Lindsey will have to pay to have their garden waste collected.

West Lindsey District Council was the only authority in the county not to charge for the service, but now district councilors have approved a payment scheme which will start in April.

The council carried out a public consultation on the issue earlier this year.

Councillors still have to give final approval to the proposed £35 charge.
