Councillors Slam £4m Bat Bridge Proposal for North Hykeham as ‘Travesty’

A proposed £4 million bat bridge, part of the North Hykeham relief road project, has been met with stern opposition from local councillors. The bridge, which is designed to protect local bat populations, has been labelled a ‘travesty’ by several council members, who harbour reservations about both the necessity and the financial implications of the project. This dispute underlines the ongoing discord between environmental concerns and fiscal prudence in the planning of local infrastructure. The council’s dedication to biodiversity has been praised by some local residents and wildlife enthusiasts, while others are voicing apprehensions about a potential misappropriation of taxpayer funds.
