    The court was told that 26 police officers were injured in the violence in May last year at the Forestry Commission site at Twyford Woods alongside the A1 in the south of the county.

    Officers were punched and kicked and had missiles including bottles and scaffolding poles, thrown at them and at one point ravers sprayed police with diesel fuel.

    For the third consecutive year, North Kesteven is being dubbed the safest place to live in England and Wales.
