    The current contract with Serco has been beset by problems, including major delays paying staff.

    Councillors in Lincolnshire are now considering an alternative, in partnership with another council in Herefordshire, but there are concerns that services will be disrupted again.

    Councillor Rob Parker, who's scrutinising the new partnership, said he had "serious reservations about whether or not we'd be able to change the contract to work in a way that suited us, but still within the terms of the contract."

    He also highlighted the difficulty Herefordshire has in recruiting skilled staff.

  14. Boston Pilgrim children's ward plan 'working but fragile'published at 14:11 British Summer Time 31 August 2018

    Health bosses have laid out contingency plans should a new way of working for Boston Pilgrim Hospital's children's ward fail.

    Pilgrim Hospital

    The new system involves transporting more serious cases to Lincoln.

    Dr Neil Hepburn, medical director at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, told members at a board meeting that the plan was so far "working well, without incident".

    However, he said the system, introduced due to staffing issues, remains "fragile" and is set to see demand stretched once children are back at school.

    If the current plan fails, it could see the Boston children's ward moved to Lincoln on a more permanent basis.

  15. Plans for another Lincoln bypass costing £150mpublished at 13:06 British Summer Time 31 August 2018

    Plans for the final stretch of bypass to encircle Lincoln have been announced by Lincolnshire County Council today.

    Work on the Eastern Bypass is in full swing but the council has today put together a business case for the southern stretch of the road.

    The southern road would connect to the eastern bypass at Bracebridge Heath and go north of Waddington.

    It would eventually connect up to the current bypass at the A46 Pennells Roundabout.

    Plans show that it could cost up to £150m if built as a dual carriageway, which is the council's preferred option.

    The authority will apply for government funding to pay for it.

  16. Lincolnshire's 'Rolls Royce of windmills' to be repairedpublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 31 August 2018

    A Victorian windmill in Lincolnshire which has been described as the "Rolls Royce of windmills" is to be restored after a successful campaign by residents and the local MP.

    The sails on Sibsey Trader Mill were removed earlier this year (pictured) and the building is damp and needs general repairs.

    The flour mill dates back to 1877, is one of the last to be built in Lincolnshire in 1877, and at the time was cutting-edge technology.

    Matt Warman, the Boston and Skegness Conservative MP has revealed that English Heritage has promised to repair the damage done in recent bad weather and make up for "poor maintenance in the past and poor restoration at the beginning of the century".

    In the 1960s Sibsey Trader Mill was chosen by the government as being a site of national historical importance and was restored the following decade.

    Quote Message

    Nobody can feel as sad and sorry as we do that the mill is out of action, but all we can do is apologise and ask our visitors and customers to support us so that we can survive until the mill comes back to life."

  19. Bosses 'determined to make us miserable' - GPpublished at 11:36 British Summer Time 31 August 2018

    An anonymous resignation letter from a Lincolnshire GP says his bosses seem "determined to make as many of their colleagues as miserable as possible".

    The doctor, who wants to remain anonymous, has quit his practice and is moving to Australia.

    In the letter, the doctor says he feels forced into joining forces with practices to treat tens of thousands of patients.

    He's critical because he currently treats 4,000 patients and says his knowledge of his patients means he often knows what problems they might have "before they even arrive".

    A spokesperson for one Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group says its members are aware of the continuing pressures on GP recruitment and are making all efforts to encourage new family doctors to the county.
