Lincolnshire County Council's highways maintenance and major projects are continuing as normal, authority bosses have said.

In the latest Facebook Live address to the county, council leader Martin Hill and chief executive Debbie Barnes outlined the current situation in dealing with coronavirus.

Among the latest news, the pair confirmed that waste collection and recycling centres were also continuing to operate as usual.

The authority has begun allowing more vulnerable staff to work from home, however, bosses said more were expected to do so over the coming days – especially in view of further scaled back services.

Debbie Barnes also said day centres would remain open for those with the most challenging needs.

Councillor Hill thanked staff and volunteers for working "extremely hard in challenging situations" and being flexible enough to be redeployed.

"We have a great community support in Lincolnshire and, as we have seen in other emergencies, this is the time people rally round and support each other," he said.

Lincolnshire County Council has also announced restrictions on registration services.

The authority has confirmed that appointments with the service to register births, marriages and deaths are still going ahead, however, have made the following restrictions.

• No more than two people to visit the registration office

• Anyone who is self-isolating under government advice should not attend a registry office, however, they can ask others to register events on their behalf

Those unable to attend appointments are asked to contact the service as soon as possible, while those completing marriage or civil partnership that are more than six months away should delay visiting until within that time frame.

Registration ceremonies are still taking place the authority's registration offices and licenced venues.

Venues outside the council's control are asked to contact families which may be affected as soon as possible.
