Highways officials in Boston say they're still committed to a distributor road for the town, but more government money is needed.

Lincolnshire County Council wants to build the new road around the west side of Boston, with the aim of relieving traffic in the town.

Initial parts of the project are being put in place with Chestnut Homes' new housing, business and leisure development.

The authority says it's in talks with the Department of Transport about the next stages of the project.

Police want to speak to witnesses after one of their own vehicles was involved in crash with an HGV earlier this week.

There are, of course, the usual braggadocious (is that a word?) holiday shots and dodgy-nightclub-toilet-mirror snaps.

The Labour MP for Scunthorpe has urged the Sports Minister Tracey Crouch to listen to the town's football fans over "safe standing" at grounds.

At present, stadiums in the top two divisions are "all-seater" as a result of safety concerns following the Hillsborough disaster.

The Sports Minister says the government will make a decision "in due course" whether to allow some football fans to stand at Premier League and Championship games.
