BBC Lincolnshire Live

The latest from the Lincolnshire newsroom:

• Louth paedophile jailed for three and a half years 
• Strikes in France could cause chaos for Lincolnshire holidaymakers and haulage firms 
• Stamford appear to have dodged relegation on a technicality 

Tonight it's going to be dry with some broken cloud with the occasional mist and fog patches forming.

Feeling chilly in some rural areas with some light winds coming in from the East.

Strikes and protests over labour laws in France will cause chaos to bank holiday tourists and the haulage industry according to Davis Produce Limited, a company based in Louth.

Workers have blockaded petrol stations and oil refineries and clashed with police across the country.

Speaking to us from France, owner of the firm Peter Davis said people travelling to the country need to plan ahead.

If you have planned a holiday then obviously you don't want to cancel it but I would suggest you take plenty of extra money with you in case you need a hotel. Plan your route carefully and pull in and get some fuel whenever you can.

We've all been very excited by the cows that escaped onto Long Leys Road in Lincoln this afternoon, as we told you they have now all been rounded up after their day out. 

It's captured your imagination as well, we've been bombarded with bad jokes and wry comments. Someone pointed out that this photo looks like an album cover:

We thought they had a good point so, because it's a Friday, we made this:

Jamie Lee Tye, 28, of Normanby Road, Louth has been jailed for three-and-a-half years at Lincoln Crown Court today after more than 15,000 indecent images of children were found on his computer.

Some of the pictures depicted children as young as two being sexually abused. 

Tye, who has worked as a driver and valeter for a company in Grimsby for the last nine years blamed friends for downloading the material. However prosecutor Grace Hale said he would have had to be 'the unluckiest man on earth' for this to be true.

You were convicted by the jury on the most overwhelming evidence. Not only were you increasing the circulation of these vile images but you were encouraging others to do so. It seems to me that you enthusiastically entered into the sharing of material.

We've got congestion in almost all the places you'd expect really. 

Looking especially busy around Boston, Horncastle, Lincoln and of course Skegness where roadworks are still clogging up the A52.

Two men aged 20 and 21 have been arrested while at an address on Alexandra Road.

They've both been bailed pending further enquiries. 

It's part of Humberside Police's "Operation Impact" which aims to crack down problems blighting certain areas and communities. 

When Marc Jones became Lincolnshire's new Police and Crime Commissioner earlier this month he announced that he would be choosing a deputy.

He picked Stuart Tweedale as his second but the crime panel has to approve the choice before it becomes official. 

There's going to be a Confirmation Hearing at Tedder Hall in Manby Park next Friday, where Mr Tweedale will be asked a series of questions by the panel to see if he's up to the task.

It's a public meeting so you can go along and watch at 11:00 if you fancy it.

This week six people have been prosecuted for dropping cigarettes in the city and failing to pay their penalty notices.

City of Lincoln Council say they take the matter very seriously as it costs them thousands to clean up litter on the streets every year. 

Since the scheme was launched in October 2015, more than 300 fixed penalty notices have been issued for littering offences.

Quote Message: Lincoln is a clean, friendly, and welcoming city, and we want it to stay that way. The council doesn’t make a profit from this work, and its aim is quite simply to prevent people from littering within the city through effective enforcement. from Sam Barstow Service Manager for Public Protection and Antisocial Behaviour

Lincoln is a clean, friendly, and welcoming city, and we want it to stay that way. The council doesn’t make a profit from this work, and its aim is quite simply to prevent people from littering within the city through effective enforcement.

Well it had to come to an end eventually.

The cows are back in a trailer after their grand day out and the road is clear once more:

Huge news for Stamford who look set to avoid relegation from the Northern Premier Division despite finishing in the relegation zone. 

Cinderford Town have turned down the chance of promotion to the Southern Premier Division and, therefore, a space became available in Step 3 of non league football. 

It will be of huge relief to the Daniels and their manager Graham Drury, but the reprieve isn't confirmed in case any clubs decide to appeal the decision by the Football Association. 

The government has been toying with the idea that police commissioners should bring fire services under their control .

However, the recently-elected commissioner in Lincolnshire says it's not something that interests him. 

He's not the only one, the Fire Brigade's Union fiercely opposes the plans. 

Sunny spells likely for the afternoon and feeling pleasantly warm away from the coast. 

Light easterly winds will keep coasts cooler.

Might be worth getting them some blankets, they look friesian

Cattle do for now, I think.

The cows who've managed to make their way onto Long Leys Road aren't being very cooperative with the farmer trying to get them back into the field...

Lucy Heath from Billingborough has just got some good news!
