Wetherspoons to open three more Lincolnshire pubs next week

A sergeant at Lincolnshire Police said ‘some people need to grow up’ as he hit out at the “sense of entitlement” from late night revellers after a weekend of trouble in Lincoln.

Sergeant Mike Templeman said he could have filled the cells up at least threefold on Saturday night, after being asked if police could revisit Section 5 of the Public Order Act, which relates to harassment, alarm or distress.

He posted on Twitter over the weekend saying: “Lots of disorder around the city last night. The sense of entitlement from people, especially drunk younger people and their misguided belief they can say what they want to police simply trying to do their job, is simply astonishing. Some need to grow up, drink less and learn some respect.”

Another person suggested that any drunk and disorderly acts on a night out should be “rewarded with the 6am clean up of the streets” as a “wake up call”.

Sergeant Templeman responded: “Don’t get me started on the rubbish. The early morning Lincolnshire County Council street cleaners are legends every weekend.”

When asked about revisiting Section 5 of the Public Order Act, he replied: “I’d have filled the cells up at least threefold last night (Saturday) if I’d have gone down that route every time and I need cops on high visibility patrols due to disorder, not constantly in the holding cells. Each job risk assessed obviously.”

Sergeant Mike Templeman also responded to people in the comments with his views on the matter.

The owner of an authentic Italian coffee bar in Lincoln is expanding his business further with a second site in Horncastle this week.

Former Italian footballer Giovanni Carchedi set up Bar Unico on St Benedict’s Square with his mum Diana eight years ago. He then invested in a gelato cart for weddings and events this summer.

Bar Unico will open its second site in the historic building formerly occupied by the former School House Coffee Bar on Church Lane in Horncastle on Tuesday, October 26. The new coffee bar has created six new jobs.

The business is well known for homemade pizza al taglio, fresh pastries, aperitivi, focaccias and cakes, as well as Italian gelato.

In addition to serving the same authentic Italian menu as the Lincoln site, the new coffee bar will also offer a wide range of daily specials, hot and cold drinks, and alcohol.

Bar Unico is located in the former School House Coffee Bar on Church Lane in Horncastle.

The new coffee bar will initially be open Monday to Saturday, between 9am and 4pm. Gio is also planning on opening it as a restaurant in the evenings for speciality nights and private events.

Gio said: “Opening a second Bar Unico has always been a dream of mine and I’m delighted that after months of hard work we’re finally ready to welcome new and existing Bar Unico customers alike to our stunning new premises in Horncastle.

“We’ve invested a lot in refurbishing the building, which dates back to 1778, into a stylish and welcoming coffee bar aimed at people of all ages. The aim is to recreate the family-friendly, inclusive atmosphere of the Lincoln bar where we have built up a loyal and diverse customer base.

“I am privileged to say that a lot of our customers are now friends of mine and I am extremely grateful for their support over the years through good times and bad. I hope to see many of them at the new premises in Horncastle and I look forward to introducing lots of new customers to the Bar Unico brand.”

A woman who denies the murder of her former partner at a property in Boston has been refused bail by a Crown Court judge.

Charlie Stevenson, now 21, of Portland Street, Boston, was arrested on July 14 and charged with the murder of Christopher Higgs, also 21.

Her trial is due to begin at Lincoln Crown Court on January 4 next year. It is expected to last seven days.

Judge John Pini QC today (Monday) refused an application to grant Stevenson conditional bail during a hearing Lincoln Crown Court.

Mr Higgs, from Spalding, was found with a serious stab wound to the chest on Wednesday, July 14, after police received reports at around 12.13pm that day.

He was pronounced dead at the scene in Portland Street, Boston.

Stevenson, who is remanded in custody and was not present during the bail hearing, has previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder at hearing in August.
