LOCAL ROAD SAFETY SCHEMES A SUCCESS !

Two local road safety schemes have been deemed a success after seeing a significant reduction in accidents at both locations. Moorwell Road and the Chancel Road mini round-a-bouts were equally met with a certain degree of scepticism when first constructed but have, thankfully, proved successful.  

Moorwell Road had eight accidents and five casualties in the three years prior to the introduction of its safety scheme in 2002/2003, this was reduced to two accidents and two casualties in the three year period after.

The mini round-a-bout scheme at Chancel Road implemented in 2003/2004 saw its reduction from six accidents and eight casualties in the three year period before to three accidents and four casualties for the three years after.

CONTROVERSIAL 'KENNELS' PLAN TURNED DOWN

A controversial plan to build five dog kennels and a 'whelping unit' including an 'isolation unit' and waste disposal unit at a semi-detached property in Messingham Road, Bottesford has today (21st May 2008) being given the thumbs down by North Lincolnshire's Planning Committee. 

The application attracted thirty two personal letters of objection in addition to objections from Bottesford Town Council and Environmental Health.

The thirteen strong Committee unanimously voted to 'refuse permission' after carrying out a site visit and listening to the objections of local residents.

PROPOSED BRIDLEWAY - BOTTESFORD BECK

A proposal to develop a bridleway alongside Bottesford Beck, known as the 'Linear Walk', from Messingham Road to Holme Hall Avenue encompassing feature entries consisting of disabled friendly gates has met with differing views from Bottesford's Town Councillors.

Those in favour of the scheme believe it will enhance Bottesford making the facility accesible for a greater number of the community while others fear it may spoil what bit of Bottesford's countryside is left.

Current mood: Sceptical

TIMBERLAND TO LAKESIDE ROUTE OPENS

After numerous delays the through route from Timberland to Lakeside has eventually been opened (Wednesday 30th April).

This will hopefully begin to alleviate some of the traffic which has been a continuous concern on many of Bottesford's streets such as 'Grange Lane South', 'Bottesford Lane', 'Timberland', 'Caistor Avenue' and 'Cherry Mount'.
