Lincolnshire's latest mass vaccination centre opens its doors today.

It's based at the Lincolnshire Showground north of Lincoln and is a similar size to the one which opened in Boston last month.

The county also has a number of smaller vaccination sites.

Maz Fosh, Chief Executive of the Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust says they'll build up the number of jabs they give out at the new centre.

The suspended Bishop of Lincoln can return to his role after the conclusion of a 20-month safeguarding inquiry.

Bishop Christopher Lowson, who was suspended in 2019, faced allegations he "failed to respond appropriately to safeguarding disclosures".

The Church of England said he had accepted a misconduct penalty over his handling of a disclosure about a member of the clergy in 2019.

In a statement, Bishop Lowson apologised for an "error of judgement".

The Archbishop of Canterbury said he was "fully supportive" of his return as Bishop of Lincoln.

Bishop Lowson said: "I offer an unreserved apology for my error of judgement in the way I handled a disclosure about a member of clergy.

"I regret the way I handled the matter, not least because I have always sought to take safeguarding matters extremely seriously."

In a statement, the Church of England's national safeguarding team said: "The concerns raised about Bishop Christopher have now been fully dealt with.

"But we are continuing to look at separate issues raised during the course of this process which, to be clear, do not relate to Bishop Christopher and predate his time in the diocese."

People over the age of 80 in Lincolnshire who have not been contacted about a coronavirus vaccine are being asked to call their GP.

Those in younger age groups will be contacted in due course.

Parts of the county are covered by a Met Office yellow warning, external for snow and ice for the rest of today.

However, for the majority of the region it should be a cold and wet morning with some snow flurries.

Just over 1% of rapid lateral flow tests carried out at coronavirus test sites across Lincolnshire have come back as positive, according to new figures.

Lateral flow tests are designed to detect live virus in people with no symptoms who are highly infectious.

Results are usually available in 30 minutes which means those who test positive can isolate quickly.

So far, more than 8,000 lateral flow tests have been carried out at a number of centres in Lincolnshire, with just over 100 of the rapid tests returning a positive result.

It will be a cold night in Lincolnshire.

Here's the latest forecast:

The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning for snow which could affect parts of Lincolnshire overnight.

The warning runs from 22:00 today until midnight tomorrow:

People who film bad driving on their dashcam can upload it to Lincolnshire Police from today.

Working together with the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership, the new dashcam portal allows drivers to submit footage of dangerous, careless or inconsiderate driving.

The film will be reviewed by officers and potentially investigated.

Lincolnshire Police say addressing poor driving can help them reduce serious injuries and deaths on the county's road.

Lincolnshire's second large-scale coronavirus vaccination centre will open tomorrow.

The centre at the Lincolnshire Showground joins the existing facility at the Princess Royal Sports Arena in Boston.

The county also has a number of smaller vaccination sites.

To date, 80% of over 80 year olds have been protected with their first dose of vaccine across Lincolnshire, said Maz Fosh, chief executive of the Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.
