Only one piece of a complex Jigsaw in Holdingham!!

Which way out for residents: keeping Holdingham as one entity.

These photos represent the view looking East and West from the end of where the 290 properties are planned at Holdingham/A17. The plans are for vehicles to go to the mini-roundabout (near McDonalds) and they then can go to the Holdingham Roundabout or into Town down the Lincoln Road. 

If they want to go to Pride Parkway and East Road then they will have to go the long way - whichever suits them or is accessible. 

So when will it be possible to go to Pride Parkway (still in Holdingham) without going the long way? Ok we don't want a rat run but it is 2015 and modern solutions of control must be on the market. Having just listened to the debate on rhe 200 Houses near the A15 Roundabout at Quarrington which wil have two access points - this application needs to be considered again to avoid serious complexities in the future.

The actual debate starts at around 1 hr 15 mins.

Over to you Highways. 

Changing Shape of Holdingham!?

Latest Photgraphs at end July 2015

I took these photographs today (23rd). Work going on both sides of the A17. Near New Wood the development of the Anaerobic Digestor Plant and access. To the south of the A17 (the Anaerobic Development can be seen in the distance). 

Well! Has work started or just track laying? What is the difference?

Latest photographs/video show working progressing.

Has work started on Road between A15 and Anaerobic Digestor Plant (near New Wood)?.

Obviously it was bound to happen once the election and  results were safely out of the way.

The work looks to have started on buidling a road for vehicles to get to the expected, and approved by NKDC, Anaerobic Digestion Plant. Certainly a two way stretch down towards the sineage relating to Sustrans

I spoke with the workmen and they assured me that every step will be taken to protect those travelling along the Cycle-Tract at the point the new road crosses the "Sustrans" Cycle path.

Be vigilant and make sure they keep their word.

Woodside Open Area

I took a few shots of Woodside Open Space/Play area yesterday.

 A very nice area with the Sleaford Wood as a wnd shield to the east/Nort-east.

Access is difficult except possibly at the Beech Rise entrance end.

Chicken Farm appeal dismissed

Update: The Story ahs now appeared in the Sleaford Standard. 

It was held back until the election was over (that is my interpretation). But the decision is welcome all the same.

How on earth did it go this far?

Holdingham Chicken Farm: Latest no news!!!

Case Officer Latest!

Well , they told a group of residents attending the inspection of the site, on 31 March,  to contact the Planning Inspectorate if, after 5 weeks, we had heard nothing! We have heard nothing so off went my e-mail! 

The reply stated " "The file is still with the Inspector and I cannot advise you as to when a decision will be made on the appeal.". 

So that's it for the time being. We will, I assume, have to wait until after the election.
