What to make of 2022 after a 2021 no-one expected: Holdingham Sleaford viewpoint.

Draft: So many things that were expected are now on hold: so who is to blame (or be praised) that some events did or did not unfold: main topics include:
Holdingham Roundabout almost complete - some issues remain: 
Sleaford Moore Pride Parkway Enterprise Park (passed 2 July 2021): 
Persimmon Holdingham Grange Phase 2 development aligned to Sleaford Moor: 
 Lincoln Road Open Space: 
Cop26 implications. 



The improvements to the Holdingham Roundabout are almost completed. Personally, I think the installation of traffic lights is a good thing. 

Certainly for those coming out from the Lincoln Road. Pity about access to McDonald's (I had hoped for a safer entrance/exit) to stop traffic coming out onto the Lincoln Road to go to the Roundabout without going down to the mini-roundabout. However the footpath is welcome. 






The Lincoln Road Playing field/open space is well used and the the young people use the covered area in front of the Nets and metal framework. 





Sleaford has continued to change as new developments continue despite stoppages due mainly to Covid restrictions. Like many all eyes daily on the latest tally of Covid-cases and which variety and whether or not the NHS will be overwhelmed. At least Christmas and the New Year celebrations got through with too many hitches. Local Businesses will be pleased with that (I assume).

On a wider scale any ramifications of Cop26 appear to be on hold. Day to day problems appear to be dominating and thinking bout 2030 or 2050 seems to have lost its gloss.  However it is good to see Lincoln University taking an active role in the subject.  My previous Blog also commented at Cop26

The Lincolnite produced a report: COP26 inspired climate change conference at University of Lincoln (thelincolnite.co.uk)
