Under the plans, the limit would be cut by 10mph to 40mph in Horncastle Road, near its junction with Redcap Lane and Rawson Lane.

A spokesman for Lincolnshire County Council said: “Concerns were raised by Network Rail because of the level crossing there. It was assessed under our speed limits policy and supported by the local councillor for it to go out to consultation.”
