Lloyds Bank today confirmed its Spilsby branch - the only bank in the town - will close on 12 November.

It's being blamed on the changing way people bank, which means the branch is being used less often.

Keziah Wood, deputy mayor of Spilsby, said a mobile branch would visit the town every two weeks but the nearest bank is now in Skegness.

She said: "It's very disappointing. There's a lot of older people in Spilsby who don't do internet banking. It's just another thing that we have got less of.

"They want to build more houses here and the infrastructure is just not there to support it. Two times a week for a mobile bank to come - people need to cash their money from businesses every day.

"It has a knock on effect for everyone - not just businesses and banking."

A bakery in Spalding is at risk of closure, putting 405 jobs at risk.

Addo Food Group, which makes a range of baked goods including sausage rolls and various types of pastry, has revealed plans to close its Spalding site next year.

Following a business review, the firm want to divert production to bakeries in Poole and Palethorpes.

The company said the proposed closure, which would impact 405 employees, is required to ensure it is profitable, maintains its market leading position and meets customer expectations in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Blushing brides could soon be having a very green wedding in a 19th century Grimsby park, but objectors claim the venue is not fit-for-purpose.

Health and care service provider Navigo has been given permission to turn the North East Lincolnshire Council-owned Floral Hall and Aviary garden centre in People's Park into an events venue and bridal house, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

A spokesman for Navigo, which helps people from disadvantaged backgrounds get back into work, told planning bosses today: “People’s Park is an important community asset and we want to continue to transform this Grimsby gem into an attractive, accessible community centre by regenerating and refurbishing it.”

Navigo believe the regeneration of the centre would help reduce anti-social behaviour, though objectors were concerned that use of alcohol during events would have the opposite effect.

They said the building is essentially a greenhouse – meaning it will be warm at all times – and questioned how noise can be limited if windows had to be opened to cool guests down.

Scunthorpe MP Nic Dakin says introducing the biofuel E10 could cut carbon emissions in the UK by as much as taking 700,000 cars off the roads.

A study by the all-party parliamentary group for British bioethanol looked at the impact of introducing E10 - a fuel blended with 10% ethanol.

Chairman Mr Dakin says it's a no brainer.

"We need action on climate change," he said.

"Introducing E10, as many other countries have done, would immediately take 700,000 cars off the road in terms of emissions, improve our air quality, support our farmers, support the high-tech billion-pound bioethanol industry - it's a no brainer. They just need to get on with it."

Domestic abuse victims in the English countryside suffer for longer than those in urban areas and are less likely to report offences, according to a new study.

The National Rural Crime Network found people who'd been abused often felt isolated and had fewer means of escape.

In 2016, Lance Hart shot his wife and daughter in Spalding before killing himself. A report afterwards showed a pattern of coercive control.

His sons Ryan and Luke Hart, who managed to escape, have since been trying to raise awareness of the issue.

Luke says his father took advantage of where they lived.

The series stars the Hollywood actor Rob Lowe as the chief constable for a fictional East Lincolnshire police force. A number of Lincolnshire locations have featured in the six-part series.

Insp Fran Harrod, who works in Boston, said: "You get stopped by people who say 'You're not that Wild Bill are you?' but obviously being a lady you get 'You're not that Wild Jill are you?!' But everybody seems to be talking about it and be enjoying it."

East Midlands Ambulance Service has previously faced financial and response times issues.

A group of young dancers from Lincolnshire have won the chance to perform at Disneyland in Paris.

The team of 24 girls, aged between six and 16-years-old, from Passion2Dance have been given a 20 minute slot in the park after entering a competition.

They will perform their 'Wizard of Oz' routine in October and later take part in a workshop with some of the Disney team cast.

From cavemen to Banksy - throughout history it seems that few people can resist the urge to leave their mark on a wall or building.

And Lincoln Cathedral is no exception, from the floor to the top of the tower there are hundreds of examples of medieval graffiti.

From Norman guards to Victorian tourists, there is a huge range of images, symbols and words etched on to the fabric of the building.

As part of the Festival of Archaeology, the cathedral is running a series of guided graffiti tours for today only.

Expert guides will explain some of the Cathedral’s most interesting graffiti and some of the people who have left their mark.

A previously-troubled ambulance service has made significant improvements, a regulator has found.

East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust has been rated "good" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), after being told in 2017 changes were needed.

Inspectors found the service had new ways of call handling, which helped staff better deal with major incidents.

The trust was rated as outstanding for being "caring", one of the CQC's key grading areas.

The ambulance service, which serves about 4.8 million people across six counties, has faced financial problems in recent years - with an £11.9m deficit in 2016 - and had some of the worst response times in England.

The latest inspection, between April and May, found a "significant number of improvements" had been made and "highlighted areas of outstanding practice".
