• Council support plans to cut funding from heritage sites but deny they're being cut adrift
• They're calls for a new medical school in Lincolnshire
• Spilsby woman finally gets paid by Serco, 10 months after payment was due

If approved the authority would withdraw funding to seven visitor attractions - but allow them to keep the revenue they make.

However the council denied the attractions like Lincoln Castle, Gainsborough Old Hall and other County museums would be cut adrift.
