There has been a 40% decrease in COVID-19 cases so far this week, but one extra COVID-related death in Greater Lincolnshire compared to this time last week.
The latest figures show there have been 144 coronavirus cases so far this week and one death compared to 238 cases and no deaths last week, however, a government data change on Tuesday meant 85 cases were removed from Greater Lincolnshire’s total.
The government’s COVID-19 dashboard on Friday recorded 28 new cases in Lincolnshire, 17 in North Lincolnshire and -1 in North East Lincolnshire, as data can fluctuate due to a wrong diagnosis.
Boston to get themed Monopoly board
Organisers hope to promote the town
Some of the pieces which have been designed as part of the new game.
Boston is to get its own themed Monopoly game but organisers have failed to secure investment from the local council.
Boston Big Local has been working with company Winning Moves to produce the game, which will be sold for £29.99 with all proceeds going to charities and community groups.
The game will feature newly-designed pieces representing different Boston’s history, including the Stump, a Puritan Hat, a Swan, a Medieval Cog, a Marathon Runner and a Tractor.
