A well-used passage at the Lincoln Glory Hole is currently closed due to essential maintenance.

Western Power Distribution has closed the passage to work on what they say is a fault in an underground cable that occurred over the weekend.

The passage leads to the Glory Hole underneath High Bridge in the city centre, which is currently the oldest bridge in the UK that still supports a building, and was named by boaters who sailed under the bridge to the Brayford.

A spokesperson for Western Power has said that the passage will be re-opened either later on today or tomorrow.

A team of volunteers were out in force this weekend help to clean up the busy Tritton Road in Lincoln.

A total of eight volunteers took part in the C.L.E.A.N Tritton Road clean up event on Saturday, October 27, aimed at getting rid of plastic waste and other litter along the main road.

As previously reported,  Clean Lincoln Everywhere and Now (C.L.E.AN) is a free community service which loans equipment and offers advice and support to safely arrange litter pick up events across Lincoln.

The group included volunteers from the YMCA, members of other litter picking groups and individuals who just wanted to show their support and get involved.

The first C.L.E.A.N hub was launched last month to make it easier for residents to participate in the reduction of plastic waste and litter in the city.

The hub is situated at the One NK sports complex in North Hykeham and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Individuals and groups can contact C.L.E.A.N on  Facebook for more information on how to organise a litter clean up event.
