But from 21 October LNER says it will add four extra direct journeys in each direction.

Local Democracy Reporting Service

Lincolnshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner insists a legal challenge against plans requiring all police officers to obtain a degree is “worth it”.

From 2020,the College of Policing said prospective officers would either have to complete a degree or be prepared to study for one in work time.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Marc Jones said the scheme is “not in the public interest” as it would take 40 front-line officers off the streets while they train.

He said £20,000 has been set aside to fund the initial stages of a judicial review into the matter.

Lincolnshire Police has asked for the proposal to be delayed until 2023 for a full evaluation.
