Residents and local authorities are voicing their concerns over the £570,000 project aimed at defending a lonely Lincolnshire road from flooding. The initiative is under criticism for its value for money and the long-term benefits it brings. This road, which most local commuters and villagers use for essential commutes, frequently suffers substantial flooding during heavy rainfall.
The local council has requested a review of the scheme to ensure it addresses the community’s needs and is economically beneficial. The project falls under a wider scheme to counter flooding problems all around the county. However, doubts persist about the impact and resource allocation priorities of this project.
