Paul Nuttall, who unsuccessfully ran for Parliament in the Boston and Skegness constituency, has announced he's leaving UKIP.

He's taken issue with the party's decision to appoint Tommy Robinson as an adviser.

Mr Nuttall said he was leaving because the party was being taken in a direction "harmful to Brexit".

The association with the former English Defence League leader would "appall many moderate Brexit voters", he said.

Mr Nuttall was the leader of the party when he stood in Lincolnshire in the general election last year.

He suffered a crushing defeat, taking only 3,308 votes - about 10,000 fewer than the party's result in the constituency in 2015.

A new public square is to be created in Lincoln's Cornhill.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service say the City of Lincoln Council approved plans submitted by Lincolnshire Co-op.

The plans would see the area resurfaced and fitted with new seating and lighting.

The move comes as part of a £70 million regeneration of the Cornhill Quarter, which is expected to see a new cinema and shops built.

The council says it expects the queues to get money to get worse as the market gets busier.

The Information Commissioner's Office is investigating the data breach.

Rob Barlow, who's taken up the position of chief executive with immediate effect, says: "I'd expect the council's attempt to recover that position and be quite honest and upfront about it will be seen as good practice to something that should never have happened."

Investigations are continuing into two crashes in as many days in Lincolnshire, one of which led to the death of a teenage girl.
