It is a rapidly expanding market and Lincolnshire has avital role to play but it needs clever planning and infrastructure investment.Energy Myths
The major impact in Sleaford is on the Kirkby La Thorpe entrance/exit. I do not envy them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------I don't want to get specifically involved in the Biofuel Plant debate at Kirky La Thorpe (we seem to be getting advice from all over Lincolnshire on this topic) but the traffic implications for the Holdingham Roundabout are of concern to Holdingham.
Highways have not indicated that the effect of 100 (maybe as high as 200) lorrries per day (full or empty) will impact at Holdingham. When I returned from London late yesterday the line of traffic along the A17 from the roundabout was long. This will get worse if the plant goes ahead.
I do think Highways are in denial. The Sleaford A17 bypass allows goods to be transported to and from the Coast. Watch out for belated complaints about the adverse economic impact if this application goes ahead.

I just hope the Planners who say that there will be no traffic congestion are not the same ones who approved the traffic lights (now removed)near the Market this summer!
Thanks for your Blog comment (Anonymous).
I have been looking at recent comment in the press and have posted a recent article in the Guardian. The market is developing fast on all forms of green energy (belatedly). It is good for Lincolnshire overall.
The impact of the biofuel plant is disproportinate on Kirby La Thorpe and the local transport infrastructure.
