The lights will be in place from Monday, October 22 until Friday, October 26 for a connection to the main sewer in the carriageway.

The closure starts on October 21 and it is to enable safe site access for construction of new student accommodation at Viking House.
The lane will temporarily reopen on November 21 to allow for additional Christmas traffic, but it will close again on January 7 until the works are completed.

News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
