Cheap parking deal for late Thursday shoppers

A 22-year-old man who died in a motorbike crash in Lincoln will be given a final send off with a rip-roaring procession on the way to his funeral.

Connor Peters, 22, tragically died in a crash on the B1190 Lincoln Road on Monday, May 9, as his black Lexmoto motorcycle collided with a white Isuzu van.

He unfortunately died at the scene, and a fundraiser was set up for the “cheeky, loveable rogue” to have the send off “he deserves”. At the time of reporting there is a remarkable £5,000 on the GoFundMe page, which you can visit here.

Now, plans have been made for a motorbike procession to join the hearse taking Connor to his funeral service. The event, titled Connor Peters’ Last Ride, has been organised by his brother Josh.

It will take place at 11.50am on Monday, June 13, starting from Larne Road in Lincoln.

Josh says on the event’s Facebook page: “As a family, we are wanting a full motorcycle procession behind the funeral car, we want as many bikes, trikes, mopeds anything. We want so much noise remove all baffles removed, pops and bangs enough so he can hear from up there.

“Connor was a 22 year old lad that was full of life and was loved by so many, he loved his little 125cc, he thought that he had finally hit the big time but due to a awful turn of events he lost his life doing something he loved.

“For many of us bikers we can understand the love and passion he had for that short period of time. A biker fallen hits us all but we all club together to make an effort to remember those we lost.”

The Lincolnshire Sexual Health Clinic (LiSH) has been temporarily relocated while work begins to extend the Abbey Medical Practice on Monks Road.

The sexual health clinic, usually located at 63 Monks Road, has been transferred to the fourth floor of Queensgate House, 12 Silver Street.

Patients and the clinical team from Abbey Medical Practice have moved into 63 Monks Road while works to the practice are ongoing.

Abbey Medical Practice will be doubled in size once a two-storey extension is completed.

It is expected the work will take 18 months to complete.

Cheryl Kern, Matron of Specialist Services for Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, said: “We are delighted to be able to work with and support our health partners while they undertake their exciting building project to ensure there is minimal disruption to the wider services available in our local community.

“Our temporary move will not impact on the quality or range of sexual health services available to those who need them.

“We look forward to continuing to support people from our temporary new home at Queensgate House on Silver Street.”

Abbey Medical Practice is part of the IMP Primary Care Network (PCN), a network of nine GP surgeries covering the north of Lincoln.

Dr Rama Srinivasan, one of the Clinical Directors for IMP PCN said: “As a primary care network, one of our aims is to bring some services currently delivered in our hospitals back into primary care and expanding our GP surgeries will enable us to do this.”
