Sadly, it wasn't meant to be
Businesses in two Lincolnshire villages say they are open as usual as works take place to repair a local bridge.
The diversion route starts at the A15 in Bracebridge Heath and goes out to Holdingham Roundabout to the A153 Grantham Road and back to the A607, though cars can still follow the A607 right up to Fulbeck Bridge. Another nearby business in the village also noted the lack of traffic, particularly pointing to the petrol station. They said it was usually heaving with vehicles.“That’s the trouble, they do close these things and it has such an impact.”
She added that if other roadworks taking place nearby had been completed quicker, there might not have been as much disruption.Two local residents who visited the Post Office while reporters were there, said they had been forced to take a long diversion to the doctors by going virtually to RAF Cranwell and back.
To get to Fulbeck, there is a road out of Leadenham which is not marked by the county council’s diversion. There, the village’s recently-refurbished Craft Centre – including stalls held by local artists, potters, jewellers, the Tack Room tea rooms and the new Old Coachhouse Store are also worried about the impact.
