The proposed relocation of the Leicester-based East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre, which is used by children in Lincolnshire, has been approved, it's been announced.

The centre will move from Glenfield Hospital to Leicester Royal Infirmary, the University of Leicester Hospitals Trust says.

After protests (pictured), the centre was saved from closure last year, but to meet the standards set by NHS England it will transfer to the Kensington Building.

The move will create a stand-alone Children's Hospital in the city and all of Leicester's children's services will be under one roof for the first time.

It is expected to happen by March 2020.

There are concerns about plans for a 250-home development near Scunthorpe.

The proposal is for the land south of Moorwell Road in Yaddlethorpe.

Residents and councillors fear it could have adverse impact on traffic in the area.

A decision on the proposals is expected to be made by the council later.

Mr Warner, 34, disappeared after leaving his home in Wrangle, near Boston, on 7 June.

His body was found in a drainage channel along with a vehicle on Monday morning.

A new strategy to tackle homelessness has been launched in Lincolnshire - after the amount of rough sleepers more than tripled in six years.

The district councils and Lincolnshire County Council are working with a number of other agencies to tackle and prevent rough sleeping.

Part of the strategy includes a £1.3m project - Action Lincs - which began last year and delivers support to 120 rough sleepers in the county.

A body found at the scene of a road traffic collision could be that of a missing man, police say.

The family of Anthony Warner, from Wrangle near Boston, have been informed after the body of a man was found near a waterway at Sibsey, near Boston, yesterday.

A vehicle was also found in the water but no formal identification has been made at this stage.

The warning comes after reports of a serious incident in the early hours of Monday morning.

Police, three fire engines and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service were all called to the scene - which turned out to have been a hoax.

The Yorkshire Ambulance Service says these types of calls could be deadly for people who genuinely need urgent help.
