Proposed Improvements to A17 Holdingham Roundabout and junction with A153 Sleaford

Investments in the resources attributable to the Holdingham Roundabout are under discussion again on January 30th at full council.

Whether or not his investment, which includes The junction on the A153 near the Rugy Club, will meet longer erm needs are debatable (at best). It has to be set aside the Central Lincolnshire local plan and its proposed expansion in the Lincolnshire population and vehicle usage of Lincolnshire's Roads.

Here is my take on this as published on local social media.

improvements to the Lincolnshire Roads have to be set against a backdrop of increased housing and hence traffic and show via press reports

"Road safety chiefs are urging the public to help cut the carnage on Lincolnshire's roads in the New Year after yet another 12 months of tragedy in 2019. Fifty-three people died in 48 crashes in the county by this morning, December 31, 2019, compared to a total of 56 fatalities in 2018. Among those who died in 2019 were 13 young people aged in their teens and early 20s. "

The debate,, and my comments, re the NKDC proposals are at:

Agenda Item7f of NKDC Council (Thursday 30 January) relates to the Holdingham Roundabout and the Rugby Club. Listening to the traffic reports every morning where the Holdingham Roundabout is mentioned it has to be asked if enough will be done. The traffic tail-back was 2.5 miles yesterday morning. https://democracy.n-kesteven.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=297&MId=7832
