Update

Northfield Road/Blenheim Way

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) have acknowledged the Planning and Highways Committee’s concerns regarding the road surface of this part of the road and the committee’s request to bring the programme of works forward to early 2021. LCC are unable to meet this request due to the planning to pull together a work programme, projected spends and to meet the statutory processes all of which commences well in advance. LCC have confirmed it will be programmed for 2022/23 financial year but should any funding opportunity arise, they will aim to get it included sooner.

Towngate East – Speed Limit
