    Danny Brookes questioned whether the Kennedy Avenue in Skegness (pictured above) is the worst road in the county.

    He complained that leadership by Martin Hill is "lacking" and that he is "letting Lincolnshire down".

    Councillor Richard Davies, county councillor in charge of roads, says it's been "one of the most challenging winters we've faced in terms of potholes".

    He says the council has invested "millions more in road repairs this year" to tackle the problem.

    Rare peregrine falcons began nesting in the church intermittently in 2011, but after an absence of three years from 2014 onwards it was thought the birds of prey wouldn't return.

    This scam involves victims being told to purchase high value goods or withdraw large amounts of cash and to hand it over to a police officer, who will visit their address to collect it.

    The fraudsters then allege the goods or the money are counterfeit, according to police.

    The force has reiterated its officers would never ask people to do this and is asking the families of elderly people to make them aware of this scam.

    Scotland’s Kathleen Dawson celebrates like she’s won gold, but that swim-off success over England’s Lizzie Simmonds is an important one for her.

    Yes it puts her into tomorrow’s final, but it should confirm her place in the British team for the European championships in the Summer.

    Simmonds - a former European and Commonwealth medallist, who raced at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympics - was written off by many in the sport after having her funding axed and being controversially overlooked for selection for Rio 2016.

    She’ll now have to hope for a big performance in the 200m event later in the Gold Coast Games if she’s to extend her career to another major event.

    It became such a contentious issue that a party called the Boston Bypass Independents was elected to the Borough Council in 2007.

    It is vital that we send the biggest, loudest message we can to government that we deserve a share of this new money...It's my ambition that every single resident makes their voice heard and signs this petition."
