    The son of a Lincolnshire lord who died in Kenya in 2012 was killed by police officers, a Kenyan court has confirmed.

    Alexander Monson

    Alexander Monson, son of the 12th Baron Monson, died in the custody of Kenyan police while undergoing treatment in hospital in 2012.

    He'd been arrested under suspicion of smoking cannabis and locked in a cell at a police station in the Kenyan coastal resort of Diani.

    The Monson family has maintained that the 28-year-old was beaten to death, but police claimed he died of a drug overdose.

    A magistrate has now ruled in favour of the family, saying that "death was neither natural, nor caused by use of drugs as police claimed".

    "His life was cut short by the police and therefore the officers should be prosecuted," he said..

    The family has welcomed the decision, saying "justice has been done".

    They say the tests came back with "perfect results for the foundations".

    The full-sized replica of the Lancaster bomber is hoped to be installed near the A46, between Newark and Lincoln, before the end of the year.

  7. Award for school skirt campaignerpublished at 11:27 British Summer Time 28 June 2018

    A Lincolnshire student has been recognised for her campaign to allow girls to wear skirts at school.

    Madeleine Pownall, 20, was named student Woman of the Year by student programme UNiDAYS, external for her work on gender equality and female empowerment.

    Madeleine, who studied at The University of Lincoln, says more than 60 schools across the country ban girls from wearing skirts.

    She says everyone has the right to outwardly express their gender identity.

    Quote Message

    What I was trying to do with the campaign is just flag up what this says about us as a society and a culture that we are distracted by young girls, teenage girls or younger, wearing skirts. I think that occasionally we can enforce rules without actually stopping to think what this means on a bigger scale."

  9. Lincolnshire kitchens struggling for chefspublished at 10:44 British Summer Time 28 June 2018

    Restaurants in Lincolnshire say they're suffering because of a lack of well-trained chefs.

    Chef

    Employers say they're struggling to fill over half the vacancies they have for skilled jobs.

    Emma Brieley, director at the Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa, says finding chefs is "really difficult at the moment".

    Jasmine Clare (pictured), a 19-year-old trainee chef at Petwood, says she wasn't encouraged to train as a chef, despite showing interest in it at school.

    Quote Message

    All my teachers were saying to go to sixth form or uni - they thought that was the best route for me. But this is what I wanted to do and I couldn't do another two years at school. I wanted to go to college and they helped me with my career path."

    Alexander Monson, 28, son of the 12th Baron Monson and heir to the family estate in Lincolnshire, died in police custody in Mombasa in 2012.

    He had been arrested near a resort in the Kenyan coastal town of Diani.

  13. Last chance to have your say over town's minor injury unitpublished at 08:29 British Summer Time 28 June 2018

    Today's the last chance for local residents to have their say on the future of an out-of-hours minor injuries unit at Grantham Hospital.

    The cost to run the service is £130,000 a year.

    Feedback from the consultation will then be reviewed and a decision will be made by health bosses.

  19. No-thong policy 'panicking' swimmerspublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 27 June 2018

    Swimmers at an outdoor pool in Woodhall Spa say a no-thong policy is causing panic over just how family friendly their costumes are.

    Owners of Jubilee Park outdoor swimming pool are warning members of the public to not wear Love Island-style thongs at the pool.

    But the policy worried some of those enjoying a dip at the pool today.

    One swimmer told us: "It's just bum cheeks isn't it?"

    Another said: "It's making people panic and wonder if they've got the right bikini and I think it's awful that you're judged for something like that."

    On the other hand, one woman said that Jubilee park is advertised as a family-friendly swimming pool.

    "Although I've got the common sense to dress in something respectful for children to see, some people don't think about what they're wearing."

  20. North Lincolnshire visitor centre plan resubmittedpublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 27 June 2018

    Objections have been made against a £350,000 visitor centre plan near Scunthorpe after plans were resubmitted, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

    Visitors Centre BottesfordImage source, North Lincolnshire Council

    Plans for the proposed Bottesford and Yaddlethorpe Education and Visitor Centre were approved last year, but the council resubmitted their planning application after changing the amount of flood space it provided.

    Bottesford Town Council have raised objections against the plans for a second time.

    The project would be based next to the Bottesford Beck on Messingham Road, and would provide an open plan area for visitors plus kitchen and toilets.

    However, town councillors have said that the centre does not have sufficient parking and is too close to homes on Hallbrook Court.

    The authority's planning officer has recommended approval of the plan.

    A decision will be made next week.
