    Farmers in parts of Lincolnshire have said they fear for their safety after an escalation in the level of violence used by people setting dogs on hares.  

    The National Farmers Union said the problem had got "out of control", with one incident before Christmas involving 50 men and children.

    One farmer, who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisal, said it's dangerous to confront them:

  10. Jail for disgraced former semi-professional footballer

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    A Lincoln man who used to play for Brigg Town has been jailed for 18 months for stealing from Sunday League players after breaking into changing rooms.

    Luke Cadman, 36, of Beaumont Fee, was caught on CCTV taking cash, mobile phones and keys to a transit van - which he subsequently used to steal the vehicle - from the facilities at Lincoln Christ Hospital School.

    The court heard how Cadman had committed the crimes to fuel his drug habit and had a large number of previous convictions.

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    We told you earlier about Louth Rotary Club's Christmas tree collection but that's not much help to you if you live elsewhere.

    Here's what the councils are offering:

    • North Kesteven District Council: Chop them up and put in the garden waste bin if you have one or take to the tip.
    • South Kesteven: Anyone can leave them out whole on the day of the garden waste collections. They don't have to be in a bin.
    • Boston Borough: Take to the tip or store in brown bin which is collected in March.
    • Lincoln: Put out with black bins until January 20. Or put in garden waste bins.
    • East Lindsey: If you subscribe to the green waste service leave it next to bin or chop it up in bin.
    • West Lindsey: Take to tip.
    • South Holland: Put in brown garden waste bin, take to tip if you don't have a bin or trees branches (with no larger than 2 inch in diameter) can be left out.
