  1. Goodbye: Five things we learned today

    Natasha Turney

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    Thanks for being with us today. We will be back from 08:00 tomorrow when BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Breakfast Show will be coming live from Skegness beach. 

    In the meantime let's look at five things we didn't know when we woke up this morning: 

    1. If you have a Land Rover Discovery or Defender in Lincolnshire you need to keep your eye on it.
    2. Lincolnshire teachers have a challenge on their hands as they forget A to E. From next year GCSEs will be graded 1 to 9.
    3. The amount of recycling being sent to landfill in Lincolnshire has gone up.   
    4. Harecoursing is a problem and the CLA is urging Lincolnshire's PCC to take action.
    5. Lincolnshire's chief constable thinks there should be more public support for the force.
  2. Weather Watchers: Warm and sunny in Lincolnshire

    BBC Weather Watchers

    The forcasters promised us scorching sunshine and a beautiful day and they didn't disappoint. 

    A few clouds and a little breeze lowering the temperatures a little but with a warm 25C reported in Nettleham by weather watcher Daviation, I don't think we can complain.

  3. Chief Constable wants more public support for force

    Katie O'Halloran

    Broadcast Journalist

    When was the last time you had to call the police in Lincolnshire? 

    And did you feel like they did a good job? A recent crime survey has shown that 58% of people rate the force as good to excellent.

    However, Lincolnshire's Chief Constable says he's disappointed public support for the force isn't higher.

    Quote Message: The officers of this county have driven crime down over recent years quite significantly and now Lincolnshire's a safer place. Its a real problem for us that we can't get the public to quite appreciate that." from Neil Rhodes Lincolnshire's Chief Constable

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    With harecoursing yet again causing a problem in rural Lincolnshire, the Country Landowners' Association (CLA) has urged the county's Police and Crime Commisioner to take action. 

    They say the police should treat the crime as a high priority ahead of the conclusion of this year’s harvest. 

    It comes as the Lincolnshire force reports dealing with several incidents in East Lindsey and South Holland and the Deepings areas last weekend.

    Nicola Gilroy

    With results day on Thursday for GCSE exams it's a tense time in many households. 

    Well the wait will be over soon, and students will be having that butterfly feeling as they get ready to open the envelope. 

    From next year the grading system of A to E will be replaced by 1 to 9, bringing the UK in line with other countries.

    Quote Message: There's no doubt about it, it has caused some difficulty for school and teachers to begin to change the courses that they teach and the way they teach those courses... so teachers have had to redesign their schemes of work. from Matt Spoors Education Adviser LCC
