Councillors have unanimously approved a set of speed limit reductions along the A631 between Market Rasen and Louth, a stretch that has witnessed 260 road casualties, including eight fatalities, since 2010.

The bid aimed to tap into the government’s £175 million Safer Roads Fund, designed to reduce collisions and fatalities at accident hotspots across the nation.The proposal faced nine objections from local residents, who argued that the national speed limit was suitable for the road’s rural setting. They contended that lowering the speed limit might lead to riskier overtaking manoeuvres, potentially increasing accidents, and that it would “unreasonably” extend journey times.

He remarked: “It is very clear that the people in North Willingham are very concerned about the speed on the route. A slower speed will hopefully prevent further accidents.” “I was down at midday and I could see immediately the mechanism was holding water back from going down the river, but the return valve was open,” he recalled. “So it was like getting in a bath and you turn the tap on and haven’t put the plug in.”

Furthermore, he mentioned that the council is conducting around 230 separate investigations related to 850 properties across the county that experienced internal flooding following Storms Babet and Henk.Morgan Wray, Flood Risk Manager from the Environment Agency, was more reserved about the findings so far, but disclosed that the full report is expected to be released in the next couple of weeks.
