Lincolnshire County Council has dismissed union bosses' claims it has reduced the "professional responsibility" of health visitors in the county.

It comes as the Unite union ballots 57 of its members over strike action amid claims the workers, who transferred from the NHS, haven't had a pay increase since 2017.

The row follows the revelation former county council chief executive Keith Ireland received a £292,263 payout when he left the position after just six months.

The authority says it has invited Unit to submit a formal dispute so it can hold talks in a bid to resolve the situation.

Officials at Wragby Swimming Pool have confirmed the venue will be extended despite being threatened with closure in the past.

Built in 1998, the pool has previously experienced funding problems and is now run by a group of volunteers who say the facility is going from "strength to strength".

The five-strong team at the pool is now offering swimming lessons to 250 children from the local area and also offers exercise classes to the wider community.

Union bosses have confirmed health visitors in Lincolnshire could take strike action after it was revealed the former chief executive of Lincolnshire County Council was paid £292,263 for less than six months' work.

Keith Ireland left in November 2018 after a "difference of opinion" with council leader Martin Hill.

Now, the Unite union, says 57 of its members are angry at the situation after having no pay increase since 2017 and what they've described as an "erosion of their professional responsibilities".

It is believed to be the first time that the county’s health visitors have been balloted on strike action in defence of their pay and professional standards.

The ballot closes on Thursday 27 June

We can expect a mix of heavy rain showers and sunny spells across the county this afternoon.

The Axe and Cleaver closed in 2016 after 30 years and has remained empty since.

It was well known in the town for being a breeding ground for new musicians.

The venue has been bought by local businessman Matthew Clark who has now been given permission to change the use from the pub to a retail centre.
