It's claimed there would be greater confidence in Lincolnshire's test and trace system IF local people were given greater control of it.

County councillors unanimously voted to write to the Prime Minster to ask for substantial improvement to the coronoavirus testing system.

They also want to be more invovled in the system locally.

Leader of the Labour group on the council Rob Parker says national government should hand more powers to local authorities to help manage the crisis.
