There has been a controlled explosion at Lincoln City Hall
Lincoln is in ‘meltdown’
At approximately 2:20pm today, a bag was discovered in City Hall and deemed to be a “suspicious package”.
There is a 50 metre cordon surrounding the area, and a bomb disposal team has arrived from Chilwell, Nottingham at around 4pm to “deal with the incident quickly”.
A council statement has been released: “City Hall will not be reopening today.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We update further when possible.”
Students in halls near City Hall have been evacuated.
