A Spalding pub faces losing its licence following allegations from Lincolnshire Police about the “regular use of cocaine” and other controlled drugs in the premises.

Illegal Boston school was 'dangerous' - MPpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 4 October 2019
An illegal school in Freiston near Boston was "dangerous" and put children at "enormous personal risk", according to the Conservative MP for Boston and Skegness.
Image source, OfstedMatt Warman said residents of the village were "being tormented by anti-social behaviour" because children with complex needs weren't being properly looked after.
The three people who ran the school were successfully prosecuted after charging six local authorities £1,200 per week for every child at the school.
Patricia Hodgkinson, from Hampstead, Dr Albert Okoye, from Middlesex, and Clement Earle, from Walcot near Sleaford, admitted at Lincoln Magistrates to failing to register the school.
They were each given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £1,000 costs.
Quote MessageThe sentence isn’t as severe as I know many residents of Freiston would like, although I am hopeful that these convictions provide a degree of deterrent that we should all welcome."

Social media 'frightens people' from visiting Bostonpublished at 14:42 British Summer Time 4 October 2019
Local Democracy Reporting ServicePeople are being frightened from going into Boston town centre because of misinformation on social media, according to the leader of the borough council.
Photos posted online of drunk people urinating in the town's streets are scaring off visitors and sparking racist comments, according to council boss Aaron Spencer.
Councillor Spencer and the authority's regulatory portfolio holder Paul Skinner have hit out at social media users who "frighten people from coming into the town" by posting pictures of anti-social behaviour.
Councillors are due to hold an inquiry into Boston’s “night-time economy”, which will include street-drinking.
Councillor Spencer says he's concerned the online conversation is becoming hysterical and seriously affecting people's view of the town:
Quote MessageI'm aware of a lady who is housebound because she looks at social media all the time and just sees negativity. She thinks if she walks out of her house she's going to get stabbed."

Fire service focuses on those most at riskpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time 4 October 2019
A new way of highlighting those people in communities who are most at risk of house fires has been identified by Lincolnshire Fire Service.
Fire officers have created a list of what they say are the seven biggest risk factors which can lead to a blaze:
They are...
- Smoking
- Hoarding
- Elderly
- Reduced mobility
- Mental health issues
- Alcohol or drug misuse
- Needing care.
...all of which spells out the word "SHERMAN".
Group manager Dan Moss says it's a useful way of identifying those who could benefit from home safety checks:
Quote MessageIt's about looking at those different elements and seeing what Fire and Rescue and other agencies can offer."
