Work progressing on new waste collection fleet depot for North Kesteven


Construction work got under way on site less than three months ago and already the metal frame for the main building is up and the roof is in place.
The project is due to be completed in spring 2018.
The new depot is being built on Scoley Court, off Moor Lane, named in recognition of the family of that name who had lived in the Metheringham area since before the second World War, and who saw their land used as airfields by Bomber Command.

Once constructed, the depot will replace the current one in the village on Lincoln Road.
The site also includes 10,000 square feet of industrial space split into new business units, continuing the council’s determination to support the local economy and job creation.
Coun Richard Wright, Leader of NKDC, said: “It’s great to see the progress being made on the depot and business units in such a short space of time.

“There has already been interest in the new business units at the site and we look forward to welcoming new occupiers into those in the new year.”
