The development is called Spila Fields and stretches over a 35-hectare site between Ashby Road and Halton Road.

People can have their say on the development through an online consultation.

The plans are set to be formally lodged with East Lindsey District Council by the end of the month.

From today face masks must be worn by visitors at Lincoln County and Boston Pilgrim hospitals.

It's part of tighter coronavirus restrictions at the two sites.

Patients will only be allowed one visitor, once a day.

Multi-bed ward bays will only be allowed to have one visitor at any one time.

The owners of a Lincolnshire war museum say they don't know how it will survive the next few months.

The We'll Meet Again museum at Freiston Shore, near Boston, contains a huge collection of World War One and Two exhibits.

It's thought to be one of the largest personal collections around.

Paul Brichford, who put it together, says the museum is facing the real risk of closure because of the effects of coronavirus.

Lincolnshire's top public health official says he believes a so-called 'circuit breaker' short lockdown would help ease the number of coronavirus cases.

The idea of a national lockdown for a short period of two or three weeks has been put forward by the group of scientists advising the government.

Lincolnshire's Director of Public Health, Prof Derek Ward, says he thinks it's a good idea.

A Lincolnshire windmill has been added to a list of heritage sites that are at risk of being lost forever.

Historic England says it's very worried about the future of the mill at Burgh Le Marsh.

Strong winds in February caused the 20-tonne sails to fall, smashing them to pieces.

The windmill was built in 1844 and was operated commercially until 1965.

It's owned by Lincolnshire County Council.

Thirty-six students and one member of staff at the University of Lincoln have tested positive for coronavirus.

It's thought more will have to self-isolate as a result.

The university says it's supporting those in isolation.

A walk-through coronavirus testing facility is available on site.

There's the chance of a shower this afternoon in Lincolnshire. Here's the latest forecast:

A safari trail through a mannequin "graveyard" in Grantham is being planned for Halloween.

The trail which will feature what are being described as "child mannequins on the loose" and will end up at a drive-through cinema screening horror films made by independent filmmakers.

Organiser Roz Edwards says she hopes it "creates a bit of weirdness and alternative fun this Halloween".

Lockdown boredom is partly to blame for a rise in the number of young people investigating derelict buildings in Lincolnshire, it's been claimed.

Heidi Ryder, safety officer at North Kesteven District Council, says children are trying to access derelict buildings like the Bass Maltings complex at Sleaford (pictured) to avoid "being in the public eye".

She says: "Young people may have been a little bit bored after taking so long off schools. They think they're going somewhere quiet, but they're actually going somewhere dangerous".

The council says it wants parents to check on what their children are doing and explain the risks before a serious accident happens.

Historic England's "at risk" register includes 216 new entrants deemed in danger of neglect or decay.

Dentists in Lincolnshire say they're seeing a huge rise in the number of patients with serious dental issues because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Many dental practices are currently only seeing patients with serious problems and cancelling routine appointments.

Some dentists have told the BBC they're only seeing half the number of patients they'd usually see because of the time it takes to clean everything between appointments.

Dr Kapil Sanghi, from the West Parade dental practice in Lincoln, said that one weekend he saw patients with four serious abscesses - something he hasn't seen for "years".

There are currently 37 people with positive Covid cases at the University of Lincoln, it's been confirmed.

The university, which started welcoming this year's cohort of students this week, says one staff member and 36 students have tested positive.

A spokesperson says the number represents "less than 0.3% of the university community" and that the university is in "regular contact and providing support" to those self-isolating.

Mobile operating theatres are being set up at Grantham Hospital so more operations can be carried out at the site, it's been confirmed.

United Lincolnshire Hopsitals Trust, which runs the site, has kept Grantham Hospital as a "Covid-safe" zone, meaning no coronavirus patients are being treated there.

Deputy chief officer of the trust, Mark Brassington, says the temporary operating theatres are "very rare across the country at the minute".

He adds that the trust has been "very lucky" in being given them.

The trust says the additional theatres will increase capacity to allow staff there to carry out more urgent operations.

Keeping the site "Covid-safe" means 1,000 urgent treatments have been carried out there during the pandemic, according to the trust.

The government is considering objections to extending the holiday season on the Lincolnshire coast.
