The dog (pictured), which was emaciated and had a large tumour, was found by a member of the public in Epworth last week, the animal charity said.

RSPCA officers believe the female spaniel was dumped at the scene and have now launched an investigation.

The spaniel was later put to sleep to prevent further suffering, the charity said.

From September, students at Franklin College in Grimsby will be able to study for an extra year, allowing them to retake exams.

The move is aimed at helping students who may have been forced to study from home or who have faced other disruptions to "maximise their academic potential", the college said.

It means students who need to retake their GCSE in English or maths can do so alongside a level two course in their first year.

They would then go on to study for another two years, with students being able to progress to go to university or other higher level education including apprenticeships.

People in Lincolnshire need to “blow off steam” as Covid restrictions are eased, but they need to be careful not to go “too far”, the county's health bosses have warned.

Andy Fox, assistant director of public health at Lincolnshire County Council, said the "vast majority" of people were more compliant than he expected through the pandemic, but as restrictions are relaxed he urged people to keep to the rules.

Over the weekend both the Lincolnshire and Humberside police forces reported a number of incidents, including more than 40 people gathering in Stamford with a police officer and another person assaulted.

Large groups of youths also gathered to drink alcohol in Skegness, and several arrests were made in Cleethorpes after disorder on the high street.

Mr Fox said most people will have suffered over the past year and that people would undoubtedly want to “get out and blow off a bit of steam".

But he warned: "I understand we’ve all been cooped up inside for far too long...but I just urge you to remember, if we go too far too fast we’re likely to see infections increasing too far and too fast."

Police in Lincolnshire have thanked people in the county for "largely sticking to the rules" during the first weekend since the latest easing of coronavirus lockdown regulations.

While the weekend - the first since bars and pubs could open to customers sitting outdoors under the new rules - was "very busy", the majority of people stuck to the new rules, according to the Lincolnshire force.

Ch Insp Andy Morrice said while the force saw a 20% rise in calls at the weekend, "this increase was to be expected as more people are out and about due to restrictions easing".

However, the force said that during the weekend a man was assaulted and one officer also suffered a minor injury after about 40 people gathered in The Meadows, Stamford.

Two youths were arrested and released and will be required to attend a voluntary interview in connection with the incident, officers added.

Meanwhile, officers also visited "several locations" in Skegness following reports of over six youths gathering and drinking alcohol.

Ch Insp Morrice said: "We would like to thank the majority of people who have stuck to the rules and we would like to reinforce that lockdown has eased and not ended.

"I would encourage people to continue to follow the guidance and ensure they meet in a group of no more than six outdoors. Gatherings indoors are not yet permitted."
