The colonnade supporting the beach huts on the Lincolnshire coast has "reached the end of its life".

It said "you blocked my drive but it doesn't matter because I wasn't going out anyway. Enjoy your day - Buy a coffee".

The gesture was left on the windscreen and shared by East Midlands Ambulance Service in a tweet.

The first apprentices have enrolled on a new scheme in Gainsborough - it's hoped the scheme will help them to land a permanent job in the local engineering industry.

It's based at the town's college and is being run in collaboration with local manufacturers including Eminox, Regal and Clean Tech.

The scheme lasts for two years.

A cloudy afternoon in Lincolnshire, but it should stay dry.

Plans for the last part of Lincoln's bypass to be turned into a dual carriageway have been approved by county councillors, who say the move is a "no-brainer".

The North Hykeham relief road, which will complete the city's ring road, is expected to cost abut £148.5m in total.

It will join with the ongoing Lincoln Eastern Bypass and the A46 in the west.

A Lincolnshire teenager who last week met Prince Harry and Meghan has won her battle over her right to stay at school.

Evie Toombes was hoping to do her A levels at Skegness Grammar, but the school said she didn't meet its admissions criteria.

Evie said her grades suffered and she had missed classes because she has Spina Bifida and she said she felt the school was discriminating against her.

Hours after being contacted by the BBC, the school reversed its decision saying it "apologised unreservedly for any distress caused".

Beach hut owners in Sutton on Sea say they've been left "devastated and angry" that their huts are being torn as the structure around them is unsafe.

The concrete colonnade on the seafront is crumbling and East Lindsey District Council now intends to demolish it along with the huts on top.

The authority is offering owners £500 towards moving to another site.

Former PC Jason Farquhar "abused his position" as an officer, Northamptonshire Police says.

A council project to cut illegal parking outside schools lost about £5,000 in its first year of operation, new figures have revealed.

Lincolnshire County Council raised more than £15,000 in fines under the scheme - but the bill to run the mobile camera topped £20,000.

The parking trial focused on seven schools in Lincolnshire - two of which saw a large number of Penalty Charge Notices issued.

They were William Alvey Primary School in Sleaford, which had 110 penalties handed out, and The Priory Witham, in Lincoln, which had 138 issued.

Councillors agreed to extend the scheme by a further 12 months and set up a working group to "iron out" current issues.

Actor Robert Webb will receive an honorary degree from the University of Lincoln later.

The comic and star of Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show has recently released his memoir about growing up in Lincolnshire.

Also being honoured this year will be Lincolnshire Olympic gold medalist Georgie Twigg and the cartoonist Gerald Scarfe.

This evening will be dry and fine.

Later in the night, cloud will thicken and there will be an increasing chance of rain spreading from the north west.

There'll be a gentle to moderate southwesterly breeze:

Concerns about an application submitted for a new strip club in Skegness have been raised by Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).

The proposal for the club which, if given the go-ahead, would be located on the Grand Parade, would include lap and table dancing as well as strip shows.

Today's decision on whether to grant the strip club a licence was adjourned and will now be decided on 22 October.

Marc Jones, Lincolnshire's PCC, says it's an outdated idea:

Work has started today on the construction of a wind farm which is expected to produce enough to power for more than all the homes in Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire combined.

The Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm is costing in the region of £2bn.

Work to install about 35 miles of cabling for the onshore electrical system between Anderby Creek and Bicker Fen is now under way.

Project Director Julian Garnsey says it's a complex job:

Parliamentary constituencies in Lincolnshire could change, according to final proposals published this afternoon.

The Boundary Commission is recommending altering the shape, and in some cases the names, of constituencies in Lincolnshire.

For example Lincoln would become Lincoln and North Hykeham.

Labour has accused the government of "gerrymandering", with boundary changes across the country expected to most benefit the Conservatives at the ballot box.

But the Tories have insisted the system is currently weighed against them and the boundaries - decided by population figures - are out of date.

Parliament will vote on the recommendations in due course.

Work is expected to begin next month on restoring Lincoln's largest area of woodland.

The 45-hectare site either side of the A46 between the Doddington and Skellingthorpe roundabouts has seen anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping in the past.

Now more than £1m from the National Lottery will be spent on a major restoration which will also see hundreds of young people gain valuable skills.

The project is being managed by the Hill Holt Wood charity.

New images of a man police want to speak to about the murder of a man in Cleethorpes have been released by police.

Shaun Lyall's body was discovered when officers were called to a house in Sidney Street on Tuesday 17 July.

The pictures, taken from CCTV footage in Grimsby on the day Mr Lyall's body was found, show Abdi Ali, who police say is a "significant suspect" in the investigation.

He is said to have "strong links" with the Somalian community in Sheffield as well as with drug users in Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Sheffield.

Police say they're appealing for help and information from those communities.

Det Insp Rebecca Dickinson, from Humberside Police, says: "He is a habitual drug user and we are looking at needle exchanges, drop-in centres, drug support units as well as hospitals to see if he attends any."

Abdi Ali is described as having "quite a muscular build" and police believe he could have grown a beard and his gold tooth could have been removed.

The owners of one of the longest standing retailers in a Grimsby shopping centre has taken the decision to move out.

Locally-owned Fleurtation's Florist traded its last day on Saturday, with owners saying they don't receive enough support from management in the centre and the footfall is too low.

Freshney Place's owners say although retailers will sometimes take the decision to leave, it does offer support to local businesses and wants them to succeed.

Here are the top stories from the Lincoln newsroom this lunchtime:

• Lincolnshire Police say a new approach has led to a dramatic fall in child arrests
• An application has been put in for a second strip club in Skegness
• Drugs with a potential street value of £27m have been found hidden in a lorry full of vegetables
