Drivers in Skegness will face four weeks of alternating one-way road closures from next week as part of major improvements to Roman Bank.
Work began in September last year to replace the worn out carriageway and footpaths, improve drainage and refurbish a pedestrian crossing.
A 20 metre section of Roman Bank between Algitha Road and the A52 gyratory will be reconstructed starting on Monday, March 8. This is in addition to continuing to rebuild Roman Bank up to its junction with North Shore Road.
West Lindsey approves £5 increase in council tax precept
Leader predicts a “difficult year” ahead
West Lindsey District Council.
West Lindsey District Council has approved a £5 council tax rise as part of its budget for 2021/22.
The move is a 2.3% rise and the maximum allowed without sparking a referendum. It will see the average band D property pay £222.74 to the authority.
The council has a net budget requirement of £13.279 million – down from £14.357 million – with £6,710,800 of that coming from council tax.
Council leader Owen Bierley said: “With future uncertainty, and the expected long-term recovery of our income streams, it is appropriate that we take the opportunity this year to maximise our council tax increase.”
