In an influential move for Lincoln’s cityscape, the well-established footbridge linking the High Street to the Waterside area has been taken down. This critical first step marks the commencement of an extensive project to erect a new hotel on its site, with promises of boosting the local hospitality industry. The footbridge’s removal has received varied responses from the locals. Some mourn the loss of an iconic landmark, whilst others envisage the economic upturn that the incoming hotel could introduce. The venture is anticipated to generate a host of job opportunities while possibly drawing more tourists to Lincoln, thereby positively stimulating the local economy.
