The Lincolnshire County Council has sanctioned a considerable investment for a new drainage system in Kirkby la Thorpe, a village close to Sleaford, as a response to regular flooding issues plaguing the area. With an estimated budget over £500,000, the project aims to alleviate flooding risks endured by 57 homes in the village throughout the past decade. A substantial workload is planned for Mount Lane, anticipated to be completed in a period up to 26 weeks. The approval was offered post deliberation by council members during a meeting held on Thursday, where they vetted the scheme’s value for money.
