Plans to charge town and parish councils in Lincolnshire hundreds of pounds to switch street lights back on have been criticised.

More than half of the county's street lights go off at midnight.

It is part of an effort by the county council to save money.

Parish and town councils are being given the option of a one-off £300 per light charge to put them back on.

If authorities are willing to wait though the cost goes down to £150.

Councillor Danny Brookes, from Skegness Town Council said: "I don't think it's right.

"Would they give us the choice of not to pay their bit of the council tax and then we can give it to the local council for them to put the lights on."

Lincolnshire County Council says it won't be switching individual lights back on and authorities will have to pay for an entire street.

The proposals will be discussed by councillors on Monday.

Staff at the ARK Wildlife Park and Animal Rescue Sanctuary, in Stickney near Boston, stepped in to help.

ARK owner Jamie Mintram said: "Dexter has not been aggressive towards the keepers; he just seems a little nervous and is behaving exactly as a fox should, he is weary and scared but who can blame him?

"As with any fox, he is totally unsuitable to be kept as a household pet."

Jamie is appealing for donations towards Dexter's new enclosure and ongoing care.
