Sleaford Holdingham Electors and Elections

The new(ish) holdingham Grange Development (together with Care Home ) will produce additional residents and voters in future elections. 

North Kesteven District Council have an item on their Full Council agenda for 18 December. This will formally add the names of the roads within the development. The Care Home is being suggested as a Polling Station 

One hope is that it will produce contenders for future local elections (Town, District and even County.. Next May (2019) will see elections for 3 Town Councillors and one District Councillor (at the time of going to presss in December 2018).

Here is the link to the NKDC Full Council agenda.

Overgrown Areas: Whittle Road/Holdingham Lane Sleaford

The unkempt nature of the land near the Bus Shelter down to the land adjacent to Holdingham Lane/Whittle Road is looking messy (which it especially does at this time of year). 

Kate Cook (County Councillor) is making enquiries as to the status of the land for sale and also who is responsible for keeping the grass tidy (outside the development plot).

Here some photographas taken on 6 December 2018.

New Fencing will help security for residents: Holdingham Woodside

I took these photographs of the new fencing in of the Woodside Open Space as it adjoins Summerfield Drive.

I have spoken with one or two residents and it is appreciated by them. It was an unofficial opening which is not owned by the Council. The other concern expressed was that it could have been used as an entry point for other vehicles,Caravans etc.

It has been a long "road" getting the funding and work done. As other Councillors will testify.
Just in time ahead of a new Council being elected in May 2019.

The lack of fencing has meant walkers and riders accessing at that point although the land is not owned by the Council nor is it deemed as public access. Oh well! Things never change - there are many places with similar problems and misuses of property.

As Mentioned: The Residents I spoke to yesterday (4th December), who live at the end of Summerfield Drive expressed appreciation. Fear of unwelcome access was a major concerrn.
