Bollards and signage going in to make way for those on foot and to boost business in the town.
Work to instal bollards and new signage in Horncastle will happen this Sunday, March 16 as part of the work to create the town’s new pedestrian-only area.
The work is happening on St Lawrence Street and Market Place. As well as the pedestrian area, work will also be carried out to create a new taxi bay with changes to a limited waiting bay also going on.
Traffic is to be restricted in these areas in order to improve safety for pedestrians and to provide a protected area for events and pavement cafes. The scheme has been generated through support from Lincolnshire County Councillor William Gray, the Town Council and East Lindsey District Council.
A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to restrict access by vehicles into Market Place and St Lawrence Street will be introduced via the installation of bollards. Provision for taxis will be relocated from outside the Post Office to outside No.4/6 St Lawrence St.
The time period for existing limited waiting bay will also be extended from 20 to 30 minutes with new signs and markings being installed for these bays.
