A Grantham man has appeared in court charged with eight sexual offences, including two counts of raping a boy under 13.

David Sewell, 37, is alleged to have committed the offences against three children over a 10-year period.

Sewell, of Valley Road, appeared at Lincoln Crown Court via video link from Nottingham Prison today (Friday).

Wearing glasses and a red jumper, Sewell spoke only to confirm his name during the five-minute hearing.

He will be asked to plead to the charges when he appears at Lincoln Crown Court on November 4.

He faces charges of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child under 13, two counts of sexual assault of a boy by touching, two counts of causing a child under 13 to watch or look at images of sexual activity, two counts of raping a boy under 13 and one count of voyeurism

There was no bail application and Judge Sean Morris remanded Sewell into custody until the plea and case management hearing.

Lincolnshire Police is still appealing for information to help their investigation and has asked people to contact them.

Two sports clubs in the area are promoting Bank Holiday events with food, drink and music on the bill.

Billingborough Cricket Club are holding their third annual fun day on Monday, August 26. Last year’s event attracted more than 1,000 people and it is hoped this year’s will be even more successful in raising funds for the club.

An added attraction this year will be a live band playing at the cricket club in the evening.

Little Big Band will round off the day between 7.30pm and 11pm in rockin’ style with their rendition of anthems from the likes of Queen, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple and many more.

There’ll be music, a barbecue and bar during the day as well, along with fairground rides, bungee jumping, a cricket tournament, inflatables for children and adults, a dog show, falconry and reptile show, indoor paintballing and 50 stalls.

l Five live bands are due to perform at South Kesteven Rugby Club’s Beer Sausage and Music festival.

Thirty real ales and ciders will make up the beverages offering on the day, Saturday, August 24, and the “gourmet” sausage referred to comes in a bap with a pint included in the £12 admission charge.

Tickets in advance are £10, from www.kestevenrfcbeerfestival.co.uk. Under-18s go free but must be with an adult.

There will also be a barbecue, family games and entertainment, and disco.

The festival is from 2pm to midnight.

Clawson, no stranger to the Grantham Journal, hits the nail on the head and I find his reasoning quite apposite.

While we all would be cheered by the euphoria which is now being peddled by this Government, one should take a realistic view of the state of the economy.

Firstly, the borrrowing is racing away and experts predict that it could rise to 90 per cent of the GDP.

The austerity measures which have been undertaken, the millions spent on the work programme have, one must notice, been siphoned to the Tory friends and donors.

The enquiries set up to protect the Prime Minister in his relationship with the Murdoch gang, quietly shelved, and the numerous U-turns and budgetary failures by George have been quietly forgotten.

The political football of the NHS, in the hands of the Prime Minister’s faithful lapdog previously in Culture, etc, is a scandal that has not just arisen. Successive governments, over many years, must share the blame.

In conclusion, may I make a prophecy which I shall not

see myself, but food kitchens, dole queues and a Tory-led assault on the working man are imminent. Capitalism will finally be broken as in 1914 and 1939, and the poor unfortunates will be told to find work which will, incidentally, pay more than benefits, we are continually told, but where? Does that solve the energy crisis?

So keep the deterrent. One never knows when one may need it, especially as our armed forces are being depleted.

Having recently spent a few days in Grantham hospital after a second total hip replacement, I would like to thank Mr Singhania and his team and all the staff on Ward 5 for their care, kindness and professionalism.

It must be very demoralising for all of the staff to know that the hospital has been put under “special measures” and worrying for patients about to undergo surgery. I would like to reassure them that I received the best of care.

Although there seemed to be no shortage of nurses on Ward 5 to attend to all our needs, I do know that other departments are short of staff.

The chief executive of the NHS Trusts says that all hospitals on his list are going to be inspected by a team of doctors, nurses and patients. Why does he not spend that money on training and recruiting more staff to improve our hospitals?

No more inspections, consultations or surveys – they are just a waste of time and money. Actions, not words, are needed!

I hold the Government totally responsible for this state of affairs. How they can award themselves a 12 per cent pay rise when they are cutting back on vital services; makes me wonder how they can sleep at night. Is there no way we can stop this and override their decision?

The majority of MPs, from whatever party, have already proved themselves to be immoral and greedy.

The theory that more money attracts better candidates has proved to be utter rubbish.

Perhaps it is about time that we had an English revolution?

Having read in your issue of August 2, that Wyndham Park has just got Green Flag status for the second year running, I would like to say congratulations on this massive achievement.

At the same time, I am saddened to see that South Kesteven District Council and Wyndham Park Forum are taking all the credit again.

As a regular, daily park user, I would like to express my personal congratulations to the the two young park-keepers and park attendant who in the evenings work really hard to keep the park immaculate, working on flower beds, litterpicking and generally working non-stop all day. They should be credited with this award as much, if not more than, SKDC and the forum.

In response to Nick Boles’ comments on health commissioners (Journal, August 2).

This man beggars belief!

He is now “troubled” that NHS commissioners are not sending patients to the private Renal Services (UK) company in Grantham, whose chairman Tom Sackville, is an ex-minister of Margaret Thatcher’s government (say no more – nudge, nudge, wink, wink!).

More patients being sent here would, of course, be paid for from NHS funds (our money) and, of course, line Mr Sackville’s probably, already very well-lined pockets.

I couldn’t agree more with Stuart Allan’s letter last week, where he hopes a good independent candidate, who does not have to “toe any party line” and therefore actually represent the views of the people of Grantham, comes forward at the next election, gets elected and gets rid of this imbecile for good!

Come on Grantham – you can do it!

Increased membership of Grantham Bridge Club has led to a change of venue.

The club recently moved from Harlaxton, where they had been for the past 14 years, to Barrowby Pavilion.

The club was started in the late 1960s by the late Keith and Pauline Ibbotson, originally meeting at The George Hotel. It is currently the only bridge club in Grantham affiliated to The English Bridge Union, and runs two teams of eight who compete in the Leicestershire League.

From March to May the club held a “No Fears” morning session for people who had just taken up the game, or wished to improve. They proved so popular that they will recommence on Wednesday, September 4 at 10.30am in The Reading Room, Barrowby. Contact June Dixon (Tel: 541432) for more details.

Normal club nights are Monday and Tuesday, 7pm for 7.15pm start. Anyone wishing to play should contact Irene Pacey (Tel: 01949 843138).

Last week’s winners were Shona Berrisford and Dierdra Pickup and Gaby Leigh and Jim Steele on Monday, and Sandra and Noel Dunne and Rebecca Ronan and Judy Hulland on Tuesday.

Since his election as MP for Grantham, Nick Boles must have alienated thousands of pensioners in the constituency by proposing to “take money off people who don’t need it” and also upset millions of voters nationwide by suggesting that hundreds of thousands of acres of green fields should be built upon.

However, his remarks about the refusal of local health commissioners to send local patients to the recently opened private dialysis service in Barrowby Road, do make some sense.

I fail to see what part of the health commissioners’ remit includes subjecting sensitive patients to unnecessary, stressful and expensive travelling when an excellent local service is available.

It is surely unacceptable to use patients as political footballs to try to score points based upon a commissioner’s personal preference or opinion.

If they scorn the use of private services, perhaps they should remember that the NHS, like all public services, is funded by the taxes levied upon successful private businesses – and they should also remember that their patients’ needs should come before their own politics.

My wife had to attend the A&E department on a Sunday morning, due to a fall the previous day, resulting in a badly swollen ankle.

The treatment she recieved was first class - we arrived at approximately 8.30am and by 5pm she had been examined, x-rayed and seen by two doctors who explained she had a serious break to her ankle.

She then had an operation to insert plates and screws to secure her ankle.

I would stress that this happened on a day when specialist medical attention is allegedly in short supply.

She was then transferred to Ward 5, where again the nursing and medical staff were excellent.

We have both had operations in the private sector and the care and attention my wife received in Grantham Hospital, equalled our experiences in the private sector.

Unfortunately, in spite of the above, there is a downside as I am now chief cook and bottle washer, due to my wife’s lack of mobility and am but a shadow of my former self.

As a dog lover and owner of Petpals, a local business that specialises in looking after pets, I’d like to draw readers’ attention to the Big Scoop campaign recently launched by Keep Britain Tidy and celebrity Ben Fogle.

Ben’s research shows that for the first time in 10 years, there has been a rise in the amount of dog mess either left on the ground or bagged but not thrown away.

I always bag up after the animals in my care and often pick up and throw away discarded

‘poo’ bags left by others.

There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog mess or having to clean if off pushchair wheels.

Getting in to the habit of carrying a supply of bags with you whenever you walk your dog is easy to do and helps keep our parks and verges clean for everyone to enjoy.

We are one of the few counties that allows dogs to be walked off the lead in public areas - but if dog walkers don’t act more responsibly, we may find that this freedom could be taken away by future legislation introduced to combat the growing problem.

It’s just the minority of dog walkers that are giving us a bad name. Please join the Big Scoop campaign and always make sure you bag and bin every time.

I would like to thank Hougham and Marston WI for giving me the opportunity to go with them on a bus trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, a place I wante d to return to as I like photography, and wanted to photograph the magnificent Holy Trinity Church.

As I have a birthday coming next week, it was a real treat.

Thanks to A & P Travel for a good and safe journey.

Grantham Town FC officially announced their new main sponsor for the 2013/14 season at The Meres stadium on Thursday.

The Gingerbreads have teamed up with Gonerby Moor-based Northgate Vehicle Hire who specialise in commercial vehicle hire for businesses and private individuals. The company will initally support the club for 12 months with the option to extend their sponsorship.

Grantham Town commercial manager Steve Cardy said negotiations have been ongoing for the past few weeks. He said Northgate’s enthusiasm and commitment to the Gingerbreads have been “fantastic” and the club was thrilled to have them on board for the season.

Steve said: “We have discussed with them what’s happening at the club, from our kids’ soccer programmes, through the youth football setup, to the first team and the new squad for the season. Also the foundations we are building behind the football to support the teams, with the MCS Centre and the work we are doing with local businesses and our charity and community work within Grantham.

“I have said before that we really want to grow the club and our support in Grantham. Northgate have seen all this, listened and decided that they want to be a part of it, and we are delighted with that decision.”

Grantham Town chairman Pete Railton was also full of praise for the club’s new sponsors, saying they had been a pleasure to work with and he looked forward to the new season with Northgate on board.

Mr Railton said: “Northgate have been fantastic. The team at the Grantham office couldn’t have been nicer or more professional.”

Northgate Vehicle Hire branch manager Tracey Sentence noted the similarity in Grantham Town and her company’s aspirations and focus on success, and said she hoped together they could help each other.

Tracey said: “Northgate has been in Grantham for many years and with the football club really playing a key role at the heart of the community, this immediately felt like a really great opportunity.

“We are really focusing on growing our business in Grantham and building strong relationships with businesses and the wider community.”

Club chairman Mr Railton added: “The feeling around the club at the moment is absolutely fantastic, everything is coming together and the season is shaping up to potentially be a really good one for the club. A lot of that is down to the support Northgate have given us.”

Here’s a look at what’s been going on in the villages surrounding Grantham recently.

The limited edition home strip has been produced to commemorate the biggest game in Grantham Town’s history, when they played Middlesbrough in the third round of the FA Cup in 1974, having previously beaten Rochdale 5-3 away in a second round replay. The red strip will be for this season only.

The fans’ forum will give Gingerbreads supporters the opportunity to quiz the team’s joint manager and the club’s board of directors on plans for the season ahead and beyond.

Town’s commercial manager Steve Cardy said it should be an enjoyable and interesting evening: “After the very positive pre-season we have had, with seven wins out of eight against some very good opposition, we are really looking forward to the new season.

“This evening is to give the fans a chance not only to get a look at the new kit but also ask any questions they like about how we see things at the club, working from the inside. All are welcome to attend.”

The East Midlands Long Service Award was presented to Fenland head coach and chairman Louise Key for giving 10 years service to the region.

After winning the Lincolnshire club of the year last year, Fenland were also nominated by one of the player’s parents Sue Hose and went on to win the East Midlands Outstanding Netball Club Award.

The award brought to an end Fenland’s best season yet with their under-14s county champions, under-12s finishing third. under-11s second, and Back to Netball competition runners-up by one goal.

As winners of the East Midlands Goalden Globe Awards, Fenland will now go forward to the national event in September.

SUDBROOK MOOR

Sudbrook Moor’s scratch A Team have missed out on any chance of promotion from the C Division of the South Lincolnshire League.

Led by Phil Hall, the team had been top of the division for three months, but two away defeats have thrown a spanner in the works.

A win was needed in their penultimate game to keep them in contention going into the final fixture, but a devastating 5-1 defeat at Belton Woods put paid to that.

l Eight handicap Bryan Shelley put together a storming stableford card in the seniors’ Thursday roll-up, bettering CSS by five shots with a score of 45 points.

Ken Jameson won Division Three with 43, as did Colin Henfrey in Division Four.

Winners after a countback were Colin Sneesby and Rob Palframan with a score of 47. Runners-up were Dan Fowler and Christopher Duncan, and Lee Williams and Andy Williams were third.

Castle Bytham-based single seat racing driver Andy Richardson added more silverware to his collection despite a tough weekend on track, as the Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain season resumed at Snetterton.

The 21-year-old went into the weekend hoping to challenge for top honours at the front of the field, to strengthen his championship position, but was forced to contend with overheating and tyre issues that would have a major impact on his chances on race day.

With a clutch issue on his newly installed engine limiting his time on track in Friday practice, Andy went into qualifying aware that a challenge lay ahead and had to settle for 10th on the grid, having been restricted to just five laps with turbo-boost problems.

Overheating issues in the opening race would then restrict him to seventh place overall, although he was able to pick up third amongst the Scholarship Class runners.

Excessive tyre degradation limited Andy to ninth in the second race of the weekend but he stayed out of trouble in a chaotic finale to take fifth in race three – posting his quickest race lap of the weekend and picking up his second Scholarship Class podium.

Heading away from the Norfolk weekend, Andy sits eighth in the overall championship and fourth amongst the Scholarship Class racers.

Andy said it had been the toughest weekend the Richardson Racing team had endured this year: “The overheating issues that we’ve had this weekend really hurt our chances and we also suffered with tyre degradation, so we need to have a look at what caused the problem with the tyres to make sure we don’t have a repeat.

“When the car was running properly early in the races, it felt really good but we weren’t able to show what we were really capable of, as the issues we faced were probably costing us a few seconds a lap by the end.

“It was important for us to keep pushing however, and even with the problems, we’ve come away from the weekend with two pieces of silverware. We’ll work to get to the root of the overheating issues to ensure there is no repeat when we head to Scotland later in the month.”

The A52 is now clear following an earlier incident.

9.02pm: The A52 is currently closed between Grantham and Sedgebrook as a lorry has come off the road and into a ditch.

Mark Hipkiss tweeted this photo of the jack-knifed Argos lorry.

The Lincolnshire Police roads policing unit is on the scene.

**Emergency services are also on scene at the High Dyke near the junction with Londonthorpe following a serious road traffic collision.

An air ambulance is on scene, along with collision investigation specialists.

The High Dyke is closed both ways at the Londonthorpe junction.

**Police officers are currently en route to a broken down bus on the A1 northbound at Foston. The bus is reported to have had a double blow-out of its rear tyres. Traffic will be restricted in the area while the bus is recovered.

A trial will be held to decide whether a 25-year-old man was drunk and disorderly in Westgate, Grantham.

John Farnsworth of Springfield House, Colsterworth, denies the charge.

Farnsworth must return to court for his trial on October 2 at Grantham Magistrates’ Court. He was released on unconditional bail.
