Paying for Compulsory Purchase: should residents make donations to help?

There are reports from a recent Town Council meeting where Councillors have discussed the vexed question of Compulsory Purchase and how costs might be met. Yes, youv'e gusssed it - we are talking about the proposed link road through the Boston Roa Recreation Ground. Both the target and Standard are carrying reports of the meeting.

The Standard report is at this site. It is linked in to a report of the overall precept for next year which is set to remain as it is this year.

Micro-Climates (in Sleaford)? Yes!!

I thought, with it being such a nice day (14th December), I would take some photographs on the Recreation Ground. The reason is that the Weather Forecast reckons we are in for a wild and windy period with winds from the South and West. So I took shots to the North and East of the Trees.  The low sun was shining from the left side.

They (the trees)  offer a wind-break and micro-climate; even in December when all the deciduous trees have lost their leaves!

I received the attached Alert Message from Neighbourhood Watch. I think this has happened before!  Please report on 101 it anyone who has information!

Public Consultation: Link Road (what effects on Holdingham?).

 

The results of a 3 months consultation which started at a Town Meeting  on August 28th 2013 in St Denys Church have been published. Now one word of caution: like any other consultation or Town Poll they have no legal basis. So the consultation, still showing a large majority wishing to protect the Recreation Ground and fight CPO is not binding.

Question: Are you in favour of the Sleaford Town Council resisting the proposed CPO affecting the Boston Road Recreation Ground – Yes or No

The wording in the Sleaford Standard is slightly different.

Decisions are made by representatives on Parish, Town and Higher Councils (yes all of them sometimes). The results are on the Town Council web site and it has been reported in the local newspapers and on Facebook and other media outposts.

What I am still not sure about, if say the road did go ahead and the Station Gates closed (which is allied to the new road), is how it would affect the traffic down the Lincoln Road. Also I suppose there is the possibility that one day there will be a link from the mini-Roundabout near Hockmeyers Garage to the Enterprise Park and the East Road.  So what impacts willm there be in our part of the Town and on the Holdingham Roundabout, if any!
