Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued fire warnings after several preventable blazes caused by naked flames during the current heatwave.

So far this week, the fire service has already dealt with two incidents caused by members of the public using naked flames to deal with household issues.

Lincolnshire's flag is flying in Parliament square today to celebrate Historic County Flag Day.

But, it may surprise you to know that the flag (pictured centre) isn't actually that old.

Lincolnshire's flag was designed as part of a campaign by BBC Radio Lincolnshire just 14 years ago.

The red cross in the centre of the flag is a nod to St George's flag, and the yellow trim around the cross represents the "Yellowbelly" nickname given to people from Lincolnshire.

The green and blue quarters represent the rich farmland of the fens and the coastline of the county respectively, while the fleur de lys in the centre is a symbol of the city of Lincoln.

Signs which have appeared in Lincoln city centre warning of a health risk to local people due to "high air pollution" are “misleading”, according to City of Lincoln Council.

Half a dozen signs can be found at the bottom of Lindum Road and down Broadgate at traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.

They include the city council’s logo and warn people that air pollution in the area may “adversely affect” their health or “cause premature death”.

No one has yet come forward to claim responsibility for the signs.

City council officials said the authority is not responsible for the signs and added that air quality has improved in the city.

It comes ahead of a council meeting tonight in which the council plans to declare a "climate emergency".

Under the plans, Lincolnshire County Council will no longer run The Usher Gallery in Lincoln, Gainsborough Old Hall, Discover Stamford, Ellis Windmill, Burgh le Marsh Windmill and Alford Windmill.

The County Council says it expects to save £750,000 from the move, and will retain control of Heckington Windmill, The Museum of Lincolnshire Life and The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in Coningsby.

A scrutiny committee, which is established to pick holes in council plans, recommended them for approval this morning.

Protesters gathered outside the meeting and were heavily critical of the idea to relinquish control of The Usher Gallery in Lincoln.

Catherine Wilson, who spent 27 years working for the council's museum section, told councillors she was "dismayed" by the latest plans.

Mr Johnson was elected leader of the Conservative Party at lunchtime and will take over when Theresa May steps down tomorrow.

MP for Grantham and Stamford Nick Boles, who resigned as a Conservative MP because of the government's Brexit policy, congratulated Mr Johnson, but gave him a stark warning:

Meanwhile, Sleaford and North Hykeham's Conservative MP described it as a "fantastic result":

Meanwhile, MP for Gainsborough, Sir Edward Leigh said he was pleased with the result.

Lincoln's Labour MP Karen Lee, though, said neither Boris Johnson nor runner-up Jeremy Hunt would be a good choice to run the country:

Mr Johnson is expected to take office shortly afterwards, following an audience at Buckingham Palace.

The charity, which currently attends emergencies only between 07:00 and 19:00, is hoping to extend its operating hours by the end of the year.

In its 25 years working in the county, the charity has helped at over 20,000 emergencies.

The charity will begin operating 24 hours a day four days a week from 1 August.

The cost of the service will increase from £2.5m per year to £4m if the service does run 24 hours a day throughout the year.

HMV is going to move to a unit near WHSmiths and Heron foods (pictured), while McDonalds will move from its location on the Cornhill to the old HMV building on the High Street.

There's no news yet on whether anything will move into the old McDonalds restaurant in the Cornhill and continue the game of musical chairs.
