Lincolnshire and Sleaford: NIMBYs? Holdingham too?





There is an article (or two) in the Lincolnshire County News which reflects future changes in Holdingham and the rest of the Sleaford area. One is about the future of our schools/ Academies etc (front page) and the other about the Not in my Back Yard" culture. The latter is about the growing movement against changes to the population of Sleaford - and the effects of the Masterplan. All against a backdrop of a large increase in the size of the population of the area in general. Also there may be a re-balancing of the age profile as more young families move in from outside the area.


Page 15 is about NIMBY's (not in my backyard). A bit unfair because I recollect people being encouraged to come and live in Sleaford to get away from it all - which is exactly what a lot of people did.
