More facts and less ‘politician speak’ are needed on plans for a Lincolnshire reservoir, residents say.Dozens of people attended the meeting in Scredington, which would be just outside of the land which would be flooded.However many say they need more information before they can make up their minds.
“My house is right on the edge of the grey area in the plans. The houses across the road got a letter to say that they could be compulsory purchased, but it looks like I’ve got lucky,” she said.A Scredington couple said: “Our house is on the market, but all of the fear-mongering around the reservoir means it might never sell and we could be stuck here.“We’re not opposed to the reservoir, but we need to know how it will affect us.
She added: “We’re a very close community, and will lose key members who will have to move. The village will never be the same again.” “They want to know what will happen to the infrastructure and exactly how many jobs for local people will be created – I can’t imagine it’s many compared to those supported by the farms which are being lost,” she said.A local nurse practitioner who hadn’t made up her mind yet said: “If it attracts tens of thousands of visitors as Rutland Water does, I’m concerned about the impact of cycling and sailing accidents – our healthcare system is already on the brink.
