Former MK Dons midfielder joins Lincoln City

Lincoln City have signed attacking midfielder Conor McGrandles after the termination of his contract by mutual consent at MK Dons.

The 24-year-old began his career with Scottish club Falkirk when he made his debut as a 17-year-old during the 2012/13 season.

He went on to make 30 appearances during his first season as a professional before making a further 45 appearances for The Bairns.

McGrandles joined Norwich, but returned to Falkrik on loan for the rest of the 2015/16 season.

He later joined MK Dons in 2017 and was part of the squad to get promoted into League One, alongside Lincoln City, in May 2019.

McGrandles becomes the Imps’ fourth summer signing following the arrivals of James Jones, Lewis Montsma and Ethan Ross.

Conor said: “I’m really delighted to sign, my agent contacted me and mentioned Lincoln were interested which was something I wanted to explore and find out more about and I’m glad I did.”

‘Vent anger to government not your local surgery’

GPs across Lincolnshire and Yorkshire have signed an open letter to their patients calling for support at a time when the profession is in crisis.

With GP numbers dropping and patient numbers increasing, many people are not being able to get through on the phone and struggling to get an appointment.

The campaign group behind the letter – Rebuild General Practice, want the government to recruit and retain more GPs before the situation gets worse.

They acknowledge that “general practice is in crisis” and added that it is because of “decades of underfunding, neglect, broken government promises and political contempt for you – our patients – that this system is fractured.”

Dr Abdur-Rauff Mahroof, director at The Humberside Group of Local Medical Committees Ltd, told BBC Look North that staff have been suffering verbal abuse.

He said they are seeing a a mental health crisis among receptionists and doctors and “it’s got to a point where someone needs to have that conversation with patients”.

A 45-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods after 10 vehicles were taken from a premises north of Lincoln.

Staff at West View Farm in Ingham arrived at work on Wednesday, 29th June to find multiple units had been broken into and cars and vans stolen.

Suspects forced entry into the location and smashed open a key safe to obtain the keys for each vehicle, before making their escape with the vehicles.

Vehicles included an Audi car, and several Ford and Peugeot vans.

Investigating officers sprang into action and began searching for the vehicles, locating six of the 10 vehicles at a single location.

The final four were quickly located by police, meaning all the vehicles were found in a 24-hour period.

The success came off the back of a concerted effort from our local team who scoured the area to make sure the vehicles were found as quickly as possible.

The 45-year-old has been released under investigation as our enquiries continue.
