Some of the potholes in the area have been filled in but there are still some which require attention. Councillors were reminded that the best way to notify Highways of any issues is via Fix My Street, a mobile app. The road from Tumby Woodside to New Bolingbroke has been repaired and a good job has been done. The rail is down at the school corner, the clerk will report this. Concerns were once again expressed about the speed of traffic and the layout of the road at the school junction. Councillors asked Cllr Ashton if a speed limit would be considered through Tumby Woodside to slow traffic down. A survey would need to be carried out to monitor traffic usage of the road, traffic speed etc. Cllr Ashton will speak with Highways regarding the issues at this junction to see what can be done.
