Boston and Skegness MP Matt Warman's just been speaking about proposals which could see just one maternity unit for the whole county.

Health bosses said at a meeting last night that two options were on the table for caring for expectant mothers - one of which could see Boston's unit close.

But Mr Warman said: "My gut instinct is that two sites is going to be the way forward - but it's not for me to say what the best way for women to give birth is.

"But people should not be travelling long distances when they are in labour."

The man in charge of a private firm which has faced heavy criticism over its handling of Lincolnshire County Council's finances has left his post.

Sean Hanson was in charge of citizen services at Serco - which has been accused of serious failures in paying council wages and bills.

Recently Mr Hanson held a meeting with disgruntled headteachers in the county and had assured them he would make changes.

Serco says he's leaving for a new role outside of the company.
