Residents and businesses invited to have their say

Plans to house 1,500 asylum seekers at RAF Scampton have been described as “barking mad” by developers hoping to spark a £300 million heritage regeneration of the historic site.

“On the surface it just sounds barking mad”, said Peter Hewitt of Scampton Holdings. “We worked closely with the council for years to put together a plan that works for the region and local area. Community backlash has spiralled since the Home Office’s plans were announced, with local MPs, councillors and residents all saying they do not want this to go ahead.

“We simply cannot operate with 1,500 additional people in the vicinity. The result of this is binary as there is not room for both our plans and the Home Office’s.

Hold the market on the show ground let up town Lincoln hang lights decorate it let shops use the side walk with tables and chairs ect have a couple of buses running from show ground to up town and back

£260,000 set aside for alternative events with NO alternative events in mind… Hmmmm I wonder where that will go? 🤔

A market that is based on German markets based at Christmas time? The first week in December maybe

Umm, so those employed can't think of what to do? Bit of a joke me thinks!

How about a market, around Christmas time?

A Christmas Market?

Cancelling it with no plans in place for a replacement is about as cackhanded as you can get. Utterly ridiculous.
