    Do you recognise the men in these images? 

    British Transport Police officers want to speak to them about an incident of hate crime that took place at Scunthorpe station.

    It's alleged to have happened on Saturday 6 August at around 21:30 BST.

    A 16-year-old boy was returning from a Pride event with a flag. 

    Officers say three men followed the boy before making several homophobic comments before kicking him in an attempt to take his flag.

    A woman has won damages against a local hospital trust after she was wrongly given chemotheraphy at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham. 

    The Hull And East Yorkshire Hospital's NHS Trust admitted offering chemotherapy for a low grade form of bowel cancer. 

    Jodi Huggett from Caistor in Lincolnshire says she found out when a private clinic she had contacted told her of the mistake.

    Quote Message: It was awful, it was debilitating, it was exhausting. I had closing of the airwaves which caused a couple of anaphylactic shocks which were really scary. from Jodi Huggett

  17. Owner says 'absolute and utter disrespect' behind dirty beach

    Alex Rhodes

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    Earlier we told you about the Ingoldmells beach that's drawn criticism from locals and visitors because of the rubbish left there.

    It's prompted some to call on the council to take it back under their control. 

    Bins

    However the owner of the beach, Simon Adderley, says he's doing all he can and it's the people who use the beach that are the root of the problem.

    Quote Message: Yes I own the land but this is about people's absolute and utter disrespect for the environment and I can't solve that problem. I'm not prepared to spend every living moment of my life running around after people with no respect for the environment." from Simon Adderley Beach owner

  18. Traffic and travel: Busy heading to the coast

    BBC Travel

    It's the last day of summer (in a meteorological sense anyway) so a lot of people are heading to the seaside to soak up the rays we have left. 

    And you know what that means! The A158 heading from Lincoln is pretty rammed. Slow traffic crawling all the way towards the east coast. It's especially bad as it runs through Partney.
