Sleaford Councillor Candidate does well in Ashby de la Launde and Cranwell ward.

Didn't he do well? 

It was interesting that two of the three candidates in the Ashby de la Launde and Cranwell ward by-election came from Sleaford itself.  Well done Steve Clegg (who won) and is also a Sleaford Town Councillor. 

The local newspaper carried the story and also appeared on the NKDC web-site within minutes of the result being declared. 

Here they are: Sleaford Standard:  North Kesteven District Council.  

Added to that there is also good news about funding for Sleaford (through the Town Council)  from Tesco. It gives £12K to help develop and grow trees to enhance the town. So thanks Tesco and thanks to the Councillors who have helped in the last few months to raise our profile to improve our environment.

Trees already planted on George Street Play area/Open Space through its budgets. The new Tesco funds will help improve other areas.

Is the sewage in Sleaford? Or is it a wider Sleaford Problem?

Interestingly a report in a local "Sleaford" Newspaper" suggests sewage is seeming through to the surface in wet weather (and we have had much of that of late).

However on reading the article it mostly appears to be outside Sleaford.  

Like other areas we also have our problems when Septic-Tanks overflow and enter into the drains. But back to the newspaper article: please get it right media! The massive housing increase will put great strains on the infrastructure and will need massive investment. But lets be clear where the problem is. 

Back to you planners!
