Preserving our open spaces for who?

The ongoing saga of the decision to put floodlighted Tennis Courts and pavilion on the Boston Road Rec - by the Tennis Club - has raised concerns about other public open spaces. As indicated this was agreed in May 2009 for the lease of space for 4 tennis courts.

This may have implications for the rest of of Sleaford!

We have one or two in the Holdingham area. Whether or not Tennis is a specific case requirement when courts are available at the Northgate Sports complex is also an issue. Added to this is the plan for a road on the other side of Boston Road linked to the South-east regeneration plan and Tesco development.

I am beginning to feel sorry for the Boston Road Rec and local people there - so we need to be vigilant.

Farm Bridge Cycle Lane Photographs

I took these photographs today (4 November 2009).

It is all a bit messy at the moment with the Housing Development.

At least the end of Holdingham Lane alongside the B1518 will have a means to allow cyclists to go down Holdingham Lane.

The Farm Bridge (see first and third photos) appears inaccessible at present due to work being carried out.

I am pleased that the cycle route map over the Farm Bridge has now been published. It is at this site:
