Eliza Bill, 16, was hit by a lorry after getting off a broken-down school bus in Lincolnshire.

Michael Dunlop hopes to challenge for victory at the August event, despite a possible injury set-back.

No government-funded trees have been planted in Lincoln between 2010 and 2018, Forestry Commission data shows.

Lincoln was among about a third of English districts that did not get any government-funded trees. Almost all of these were urban areas and the government has promised to spend £10m planting trees in towns and cities.

Between 2010 and 2018 the government funded about 15 million trees in England. Figures for trees planted with private funds or by local councils are not included and the data only covers new trees, not replacements for any that were cut down.

Overall tree planting rates across the UK would need to more than double to combat rising temperatures and climate change, according to official figures.

Last year 13,400 hectares of new trees were planted across the UK, most of them in Scotland, but the Committee on Climate Change says this should rise to at least 30,000 hectares a year.

Campaign group The Woodland Trust said more trees were needed to provide summer shade, reduce air pollution, improve water quality and manage flooding.

The government said it had made it "much easier" to apply for planting grants.

Eliza Bill, 16, was struck on the A15 in Osbournby last December after her school bus had broken down.

It's thought she was trying cross the road to meet her father who had come to collect her.

A 14-year old girl was also injured.

Giving evidence at Boston Coroner's Court, the lorry driver said he couldn't see the girls until they stepped into the road and there was nothing he could do to avoid the collision.

The coroner ruled Eliza died as a result of a road traffic collision and said there was nothing more the driver could have done.

Police say they are concerned for the safety of a missing 16-year-old girl.

Diem Quynh Tran - also known as Quynh - has been missing from Wainfleet, near Skegness, since 24 July.

She was last seen at Skegness Train Station and is believed to have boarded a train heading towards Nottingham.

Lincolnshire Police say it is possible she may have changed the colour of her hair.

Anyone who has seen Quynh or can help with her whereabouts should contact police.

A former chef has set up a community kitchen in Horncastle to teach homeless and vulnerable people the skills they need to get back into work.

Lee Bowman is training them in food hygiene and preparation - whilst feeding the community at the same time.

He hopes the group of 10 people currently signed up will in time be able to take over the running of the project themselves.

He said he's been impressed by people's commitment: "We've not had one person walk away from the project yet. Everyone has come in and been fully engaged, they've settled down and they're leaving already with qualifications. It's amazing."

A popular paddling pool in Skegness will be closed until Thursday because of damage to the filter and circulation outlets.

The Fairy Dell - which was designated as an Asset of Community Value in April - will be closed today and tomorrow.

Alongside the paddling pool on the site, the Fairy Dell is used for a variety of community functions and serves as a quiet recreation area during months when the paddling pool is not in use.

It almost closed several years ago but was saved after a community campaign:

Councillors are being asked to reject plans to convert a former pub into an off-licence near Gainsborough, after a raid at the property earlier this year found evidence of squalid living conditions.

The former Crooked Billet pub in Morton was entered by West Lindsey District Council enforcement teams in February this year.

It followed police reports of evidence of modern-day slavery and poor living conditions in the upstairs accommodation.

A Slovakian man was found living in squalid conditions and was reportedly being paid £35 a day while working on the building.

Officers say they also found electrical wires hanging from the ceiling, and the building was "dangerous".

Emergency orders were issued to the owners, but a further inspection the following month found two men still working on the properly along with evidence that people were still living there.

Sarah Cattell, housing and enforcement team lead, said she had strong reason to believe the owner would be operating a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) above the shop and had little confidence he would apply for the appropriate licence, or manage the HMO effectively.

West Lindsey’s licensing sub committee will meet next week.

A scheme to get sand dunes moving in England and Wales gains £4m of lottery funding.

Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue is to replace all 33 of its fire engines at a cost of £8m.

From today, crews will start training on the new vehicles before they start appearing on the county's roads from September.

The vehicles are being introduced over the next three years.

Chief Fire Officer Les Britzman said the vehicles are state of the art in terms of safety and have been completely redesigned, taking efficiency and economy in to account. He said crews had been consulted about what was required.

He said: "It's the first time I've seen one designed 100% fit for purpose. It's quite impressive."

A hedge in Keelby which hundreds of people campaigned to save has been removed by the parish council.

Villagers joined forces in May to try to persuade the town council not to remove the hedgerow and hawthorn bushes at the entrance of the village green.

More than 1,000 people signed a petition and thought the hedges were there to stay.

But diggers have since been to the site and removed them.

Campaigner Louise Drakes said: "We don't know what the story is, but it was all agreed at the parish council meeting in May that they were going to raise the canopy and change the gate and review it again in August. But then they bulldozed it."

The BBC has contacted the council but has not yet had a response.

A free event is due to take place at Boston Enterprise Centre from 14:30, led by staff from the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy and "officials from across government".

They want to hear about the benefits and challenges of running a business locally.

They're also expected to share information about how companies can prepare for leaving the EU.

There's been a dramatic drop in the number of street drinking reports in Boston, according to police in the town.

Last year, officers dealt with more than 150 incidents, but so far this year only 17 calls have been made about it.

Police say the efforts of officers last year have paid off.

But Andy Fisher, from Boston Borough Council, says the problem hasn't yet been solved:

"I wouldn't want anybody to think that you'll never see anyone consuming alcohol in Boston.

"But, through a mixture of education and enforcement, we've worked with people who would visibly drink on benches, in the park and in the town centre and just walking through the town."
