But people then started using the spaces for personal use rather than hospital business, according to United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT).

Immediate action is needed to improve fire safety in social housing in parts of Lincolnshire, a report has found.
Image source, GoogleSouth Kesteven District Council has reported itself to the Regulator for Social Housing for investigation following the findings of an independent report into the authority.
Criticisms contained within the report include some fire safety testing not being undertaken at eight sheltered accommodation properties or communal areas.
There are also concerns about records missing key information, follow-up action not being carried out, certain risk assessments not taking place and this year’s electrical testing programme not being implemented.
Seven of the issues highlighted in the report are of such high concern that immediate action has been agreed by the authority.
South Kesteven District Council says it has written to all tenants saying it’s taking action and that their safety and wellbeing is a priority.
A gas pipeline which has been built under the River Humber between East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Image source, National GridThe pipeline, running between Goxhill in North Lincolnshire and Paull in East Yorkshire, has been officially named the world’s longest hydraulically inserted pipeline at 4.96km in length, external.

Emma Ford, head of gas construction for National Grid, says: "Delivering a project which is of such importance for the gas transmission network is a super achievement.
"To achieve a world record is the 'icing on the cake'."
The pipeline is now being connected to the network, ready for gas to begin flowing in December, securing the supply of up to 25% of Britain’s gas during the winter months, according to National Grid.
