Improvement plans for train station

Development to the station was first promised in the Gainsborough Growth Point Plain, as part of a scheme to improve public transport in the wake of the town doubling in size.

Pressure to improve facilities increased when rail fairs increased at the beginning of this month.

A spokesperson from West Lindsey District Council said: “We are discussing potential improvements at Lea Road station with Lincolnshire County Council and East Midlands Trains”

A representative from East Midlands Trains continued: “We are continuing to work with West Lindsey District Council and Lincolnshire County Council to reduce levels of anti-social behaviour at the station and to make improvements for the future.”

“We have recently held a meeting with both local authorities to discuss the installation of the CCTV at the station.”

He added: “In addition, I understand there will be an increase in foot patrols by Police Community support officers.”
