More time is expected to be given to an oil firm at a well site in North Lincolnshire, ahead of a proposal to continue drilling being considered.

Egdon Resources has submitted plans to allow workers to stay at Lodge Farm, near Wressle, for a further 12 months to give enough time for a fresh application for drilling to be heard.

The firm has lodged a planning application, for a third time, with North Lincolnshire Council to drill for oil at the well.

Councillors have already twice rejected proposals from Egdon, and the company's attempts to appeal the decision failed in January 2018.

However, the government's planning inspectorate decided in the firm's favour to allow them to retain the Wressle site for a further year.

Eurofighter Typhoons are described as the most advanced combat aircraft in the world, and they're based at RAF Coningsby.

They've been joined today by the only complete surviving example of the World War Two plane they are named for - the Hawker Typhoon.

The Hawker Typhoon was used to attack ground targets during WW2.

The process to bring the Typhoon over from an aviation museum in Canada wasn't an easy one though.

It was disassembled and then put back together - much like an airfix kit - when it arrived at RAF Coningsby.

The one of a kind aircraft will be on display from this weekend until September.

A trophy found in an attic in Lincolnshire includes an early mention of future Olympic gold medalist Sebastian Coe.

The trophy will be polished and adorned with ribbons to return it to its former glory, before the Heckington Show this weekend.

Chairman of the show, Charles Pinchbeck says he thought he'd never see the trophy again.

He says the recent death of his father, who served in the RAF, made the challenge an even more emotional journey than he had expected.

Police have confirmed the death of a man, whose body was found in a Scunthorpe lake, is not being treated as suspicious.

Danni Lewis, from Metheringham, says she's had all sorts of issues trying to subscribe to an NHS dental service after losing her previous one.

The family managed to sign up to a new surgery a year ago, but said the family were still unable to book appointments.

She says her ten-year-old lost a tooth a year ago and the adult tooth still hasn't grown through, so she's concerned not having a dentist could spark problems down the line.

But, after the announcement that Lincolnshire is to get four new dental practices Danni says she's breathing a sigh of relief.

A teenager who crashed his car into the front of a house at 60mph after a row with his ex-girlfriend has been given an eight-month suspended jail term.
