Improvements - Road becoming a '˜rat run'

However, the information given out about what is closed (and when) is surely a masterclass in non-communication by our County Council.

Some days the road appears open and some not.

The result is Sandy Lane now resembles a Formula One racing track.

HGVs, coaches, caravans...everything is using Sandy Lane to miss out the main road into Woodhall.

I would call Sandy Lane a ‘rat run’ but I would think even our rodent friends have run for the hills - due to the volume of traffic.

How long before someone is injured?

I used to walk my dog along part of Sandy Lane most mornings - but not any more.

On Monday of last week, I was almost taken out by a lorry which clearly was in a rush and wasn’t prepared to stop for anyone...or anything.

In ten short minutes, I counted more than 30 vehicles using Sandy Lane, obviously to avoid the roadworks in Woodhall.

How long will this go on?
