Helping link Caistor business areas

The town council has been approached to see what can be done about the Cornhill area, which sits behind the Market Place and leads into South Street.

As previously reported, there is a question of ownership over the Cornhill parking area and the town council has previously looked into registering the area.

At last week’s council meeting, it was agreed this would be progressed, spurred on by ‘frustration’ of one Cornhill businessman about ‘inconsiderate’ parking.

They will then look after the land, including marking out parking bays and putting up signs.

A suggestion has also been made to link the area with the market place by either creating some form of archway or better signage to lead up to the Cornhill area.

This could then potentially be a seating area at certain times of the day too, however access to the housing would need to be maintained.

Town Clerk, Carl Thomas said: “This [work] would help encourage people to go from the market place to Cornhill and vice versa to open the area up and support all town businesses.
