The amnesty is part of Operation Raptor, which aims to cut the number of offences involving weapons in the west of the county.

People can deposit weapons or imitations in these bins and remain completely anonymous – there will be no questions asked or repercussions, officers say.

The amnesty doesn’t apply to firearms, though, as checks need to be made to ensure they were legitimately held.

Det Insp Dave Harrop said: "Lincolnshire is an incredibly safe place, but we still take every opportunity to reduce the number of weapons in the county.

"We hope this amnesty will take even more out of circulation that could have otherwise been used in violence or to intimidate."

Fiona Brown, from Sturton by Stow, signed up to run in the Lincoln 10k to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice in tribute to 47-year-old Karen Chambers, who died in July after being diagnosed with Glioblastoma.

Despite the race's subsequent postponement, Fiona says she's instead aiming to complete her own 10km run around Lincoln on 1 November.

She says: "I am a similar age to Karen, and we are both mothers, so I found this news particularly difficult.

“Karen’s wish for me was to continue raising money for St Barnabas in her memory and I know she is watching over us as the fundraising total continues to climb.

"She will be with me on 1 November and she is my motivation to complete the 10k this year.

"Karen knew I would be running on this date before she passed away. I won’t let her down."

Fiona adds that her friend was "a truly special lady and my life is much better for knowing her".

The Priory, on Dysart Road, has been voluntarily closed with immediate effect by the licence holder Ei Group after police visited the premises last week, the force says.

Sgt Kimble Enderby said: "Officers visited the pub at 22:35 on Friday 2 October and found it was still open and trading. The front door was open, the lights were on and customers were sat inside drinking alcohol.

"Staff claimed they weren’t aware of the new closing time, despite it being in place for over a week."

The Priory will remain closed while the company finds a replacement Designated Premises Supervisor, which is someone with day-to-day responsibility for the running of the business, police say.

Sgt Enderby added: "Any licensed premises trading during the current pandemic must ensure they operate lawfully and follow the government guidance.

"Any licensed venue found to be breaching the regulations or operating unsafely will have robust action taken against them."

United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust received almost £1m of funding to replace the old scanner, which was 15 years old.

It is hoped patients will be able to use the new state-of-the-art scanner as early as next month.

The machine will provide much more detailed and faster scans.

It will also help to improve cancer treatment as patients can be scanned earlier, leading to a quicker diagnosis and being able to start treatment sooner.

The scanner is wider than the previous one and is designed to help reduce claustrophobia.

A walk-through coronavirus testing facility has opened at the University of Lincoln.

It's based in the Joseph Banks Laboratories Car Park on Beevor Street and is part of the government’s UK-wide drive to improve access to testing.

The site can be used by people who do not have a car. Those being tested will be required to follow public health measures, including social distancing, not travelling by taxi or public transport, practising good personal hygiene and wearing a face-covering.

The testing centre is being operated in partnership with Serco and will offer self-administered tests.
