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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
