We have noticed over the last 12 months this weed growing in the lawns. I have tried to identify it,,,the nearest I can get is Plantain. I would appreciate your comments. And any advice as to how to get rid....maybe just a lawn
weed killer ??

It does however have a good point - it is much better than dock leaves for nettle stings! I allow one to stay in our lawn for that very purpose. (Yes we do have some nettles on the boundary bank...)

it is indeed one of the native plantains. Plantago media [hoary plantain] probably.
easy to dig out using a knife/daisy grubber to 'gouge' it out leaving very little damage to the grass.
