Masterplans, Holdingham and Sleaford


The masterplan for Sleaford is out and hasn't changed much since I saw it a few months ago. It is all about the future and whether or not it comes off is up in the air. The Town Centre plan is here! The wide view plan is here!

In my opinion anyway: it looks like a smokescreen for other things.

The bikeable distances shown are very nice but we need bikeable weather. New housing development is expected within the confines of the A15 and A17 mixed in with potential economic hotspots. The economic areas will somehow feed onto the A15 and A17 bypasses (something I thought you cannot do) which in the past has been rejected.

For Holdingham the development goes all the way down to East Road at the top side of Sleaford Wood. If any one is interested in more detail or comment let me know.
By the way I have just come back from one of the boom areas of the world (Hong Kong). This link gives some insights as to why they are booming. Maybe there are lessons, and business opportunities if taken, that could affect Sleaford and Lincolnshire! See Map!
