Farm Bridge: from where to where?


I took these photos near to the farm bridge that is designated (I hope) to be upgraded by the money won from the national Lottery. It has repercussions for Holdingham Lane.


The plan is to cut the Holdingham Lane into two with the bit nearest the Lincoln Road being cut off to traffic. This is at the junction shown on the first photo above: at this exit point Holdingham Lane will I am told be truncated. Cyclists will be able to get from the Farm Bridge and new housing development whilst vehicles will be able to get to Holdingham Lane via the new development.

OK so cyclists will be able to get from the Holdingham Lane at this point across the bridge but then where do they go after that – see photo 2 above?


As a backdrop the 97 Houses and Flats near to the roundabout are now under construction and presumably could be occupied, within the next year, and some of the kids (could be up to 200) may have to go to Leasingham Schools safely. Otherwise they will have to go via the Holdingham Roundabout which is dangerous to cross.


I will keep you posted.
