The Latest News from our Parish Council

The Trent bridge on Sandon and Burston Public Footpath 36.

We are told by SCC that they are still on track to reinstate the bridge by the end of this year. The bridge has successfully been recovered from the river and SCC feel confident that the existing structure can be repaired and reused, avoiding the need for a replacement.

The bridge is to be removed from site to a controlled environment that will allow for high quality repairs to be undertaken. If, during repair preparations, it is found that a full replacement is needed, the funding required for this has already been secured so this can progress without delay.

A final decision on whether to repair or replace the bridge will be made by the end of July.

Please note this information regarding the New Housing Development - The MOD have the development proposals for 420 new homes off B5066 towards Beaconside.

There is no planned upgrade of the narrow canal bridge or Dog and Doublet junction with A51. If you anticipate worse traffic conditions contact your county councillor or MP - details of our Ward County Councillor and MP are on the Sandon and Burston Parish Council website - https://sandonandburstonpc.org.uk/your-parish-council/council-members/.
