Flood warning in The Deepings...

Flood warning on the River Welland between Spalding and Stamford...er, do they mean us in The Deepings?

Certainly the river is unusually high following the incessant rains. Fortunately, we have the Maxey Cut 'by-pass' designed to take excess flows, so hopefully we'll escape flooding...

Hope I haven't spoken too soon!

Deeping schoolboy dies in bike crash...

A 14-year-old boy has been killed while riding his pedal bike in Spalding.

His bike was in collision with a green Vauxhall Corsa car on Albion Street, Spalding shortly after six last night (Wednesday).

He died at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston.

Lincs Police have not yet released his name. Meantime they are appealing for anyone who saw the accident to call the witness hotline on 01522 558855.

UPDATE: The lad who died was a student at The Deepings School, where a special Year 10 Assembly was held earlier this morning.

I understand the accident happened on the road outside his home.
