I have to say that this group has worked well and the finish is in site. Its importance will be even greater as the A17 traffic increases if, as expected, the eastward bound Biofuel lorries from the Biofuel plant near Kirkby La Thorpe, have to firstly travel west to the Holdingham Roundabout. However: that is a year or
two away yet.
The portait benches which, at a distance, look like real people, consist of the figures of Oliver Harding; Nev Craine and Mark Gould and have now officially been opened.
Solar Lighting contracts have been finalised and they will be installed shortly. The precise locations for the lights, and a date for installation, have yet to be decided.
All this to be completed to meet the deadline for the for funding from the Big Lottery at the end of March 2013!
So the target date for completion is August 2012: this will ensure it can start to draw down all of the funding in September 2012 (third quarter) to give plenty of time for the Big Lottery deadline.
All the designs for the works will be signed off by Sustrans before the 31st March 2012 (some works have been done already or will be done before then such as the resurfacing in Leasingham village etc)
An official opening is planned for September/October 2012.
As mentioned before: The required funding/to create a cycle lane, across the Galley Hill Railway Line, appears to have stalled! Oh, and by the way, Biofuel lorries leaving the Biofuel plant in a couple of years or so, when it is completed, will mostly travel westwards before going round the Holdingham roundabout. Even those travelling east! So more need to use the Farm Bridge!
