Former Lincoln pub gets restaurant revamp

A female passenger in her 20s has sadly lost her life in a crash on the A16 at Utterby near Louth on Tuesday night.

The road was closed on Tuesday night following a serious crash on the Main Road near to the junction of Ings Lane, involving a black Vauxhall Corsa and a grey Citroen Vibe at around 9.45pm.

The passenger of the Citroen, a woman in her 20s, died at the scene of the crash, while the driver, a man in his late teens, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The driver of the Corsa was a woman in her 70s and she was also taken to hospital with injuries described as serious.

The road was closed overnight while emergency services cleared the area and reopened at 10am on Wednesday morning.

Police are now making inquiries into the journeys of both vehicles prior to the collision, and would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the crash.

Officers have drawn up a list of vehicles that were reported as travelling in convoy on the A16 just before the incident, and would like to speak to anyone in the following cars at that time:

• White coloured Ford Fiesta van
• Dark coloured Mercedes A Class
• Silver coloured Ford Fiesta
• Dark coloured Vauxhall Astra

The force would also like to speak to anyone with dashcam footage that travelled between Utterby and Louth on the A16 between 9-10pm on Tuesday, October 26, regardless of what it may show.

Those who lost their lives at war to defend our freedoms will be honoured on Remembrance Day this year, as part of a weekend of services in Lincoln.

Remembrance services have been observed since the end of the First World War in 1918, to honour armed forces members who lost their lives serving their countries in the line of duty.

It is an annual tradition for services to be held across the country, and this year is no different, as Lincoln prepares for a weekend-long Remembrance of our heroes of war.

There will be a brief service on Remembrance Day itself, Thursday, November 11, held at the war memorial on Lincoln High Street and organised by the Royal British Legion.

Another service will be held at the war memorial on Saturday, November 13, this time organised by City of Lincoln Council in conjunction with the Royal British Legion.

The Armistice Service will be attended by the Lord Lieutenant, the Civic Party, members of council, freemen and more, with a wreath-laying opportunity and music provided by the Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue band.

The day after, on Remembrance Sunday, Lincoln Cathedral will host its usual annual service, with the Mayor of Lincoln in attendance along with the Civic Party and members of the council.

Elsewhere in the county, West Lindsey District Council have said that the chairman will be at All Saints in Gainsborough on the morning of Remembrance Sunday, and then All Saints Parish Church in Nettleham in the afternoon for two separate services.

In North East Lincolnshire, there will be services held in Grimsby, Immingham, Laceby, New Waltham and Cleethorpes to allow people to pay tribute.

A man reportedly reached under a 14-year-old girl’s skirt and took a photograph at a shopping centre in Grantham, police said.

The girl was looking at clothes at a charity shop in the Isaac Newton Shopping Centre when the crime took place on Monday, October 25 at 9.40am.

She was then approached from behind by a man who placed his phone underneath her skirt to take a picture.

After being challenged, the man turned and ran away from the shop.

Police are now appealing to locate the man in the CCTV picture below, who has been described as having short blonde hair with a short blonde beard, having pale skin and being of thin build.
