Purpose

Lincolnshire County Council recently received
a request to review the waiting restrictions at the above location
with a view to providing a loading facility to local
businesses.
• Investigations have shown that the existing taxi rank on the
north side of Station Road is underused during the day, and it
would be beneficial to local businesses to have an area dedicated
for the loading of goods. Therefore, we are proposing to change
this area to loading only from 7am to 5pm, with the section
resorting back to a taxi only zone from 5pm to 7am.
• It was also noticed that the existing Bus Stop area on the
southern side of Station Road does not currently have a traffic
regulation order behind it, so we are also proposing to formalise
this amenity.
• Therefore, it is proposed to prohibit waiting as set out on
the plans to the Order.
• The Chief Constable, Sleaford Town Council and North
Kesteven District Council have been consulted, along with other
local groups/companies.
