Officials at East Lindsey District Council say a dozen birds and other wildlife died after the first container was found on Chapel St Leonard's beach yesterday morning.

Two more have now been found at Skegness Beach, and one each at Mogg's Eye and Anderby Creek.

Officials say they "aren’t able to guess where these have come from or what damage they may have caused along the way".

A spokesperson added, "It is sad to think they have made their way into the ocean through dumping or other means and have drifted on the North Sea."

Police are investigating following the discovery of the chemicals on the Lincolnshire coast.

Marc Jones, an elected official who scrutinises the county's police force, says "it's really important" front-line staff are prioritised "once the most vulnerable have been vaccinated".

Mr Jones said: "Often it's officers that we're asking to get called out for safety, or to visit vulnerable people or to attend incidents whether it's on the road or the home, and we absolutely rely on them to come into close contact."

Meanwhile, 96% of those aged 75 in Lincolnshire have been given their first Covid jab.

People over 65 are now also being offered the vaccine.

But many front-line NHS workers have already been vaccinated, and there are now calls for other professions like teachers and other front-line workers to be protected.

Around 500 people in Lincolnshire have been waiting over a year for a hospital appointment according to figures from NHS England., external

This time last year, no-one had been on the waiting list that long.

Andrew Morgan, chief executive of United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the county's biggest hospitals, said the backlog has been caused by the strain the coronavirus has put on hospital staff.

Across England, year-long waits for routine appointments are at their highest in 13 years.

Mr Morgan said the wait times show the impact of what "they've had to cope with, but just as importantly what the impact and implications have been of a pandemic".

He added that "the quicker we get out of the pandemic the quicker we get back on to those people on that list, because those are real people with real problems, in pain, discomfort and distress."
