West Lindsey District Council said the Savoy Cinema construction has reached the half-way mark.

The development will provide "healthy competition" to other businesses, planning meeting hears.

A fridge full of rotten food was among the 12 tonnes of waste dumped during the project.

The proposed development near Fiskerton will feature a mix of bungalows and two-storey homes.

Developer behind the £300m scheme cautiously welcomes an agreement over housing asylum seekers.

An agreement is reached with the Home Office over the temporary, dual use of the site, says council.

The development will include a four-screen cinema, two retail units and a restaurant.

The developer resubmitted adjusted plans for the site at Welton after it was rejected last year.
