AS TOWN EXPANDS WITH NEW HOMES BEING BUILT, RESIDENTS FEAR HEAVY TRAFFIC ON ALREADY BUSY ROAD
Boston Target
|June 04, 2025
MOTORISTS travelling to the Lincolnshire coast flout the speed limit in a small market town, worried residents say.
The 40mph stretch of Horncastle Road in Wragby was previously surrounded by open fields, but is now heavily populated as the town has expanded.
Residents want Wragby's 30mph limit extended further, saying the current limit is constantly flouted and a serious accident is only a matter of time.
Lincolnshire County Council says it has received a request for a review of the speed limits, which will need to be reviewed against its policies.
Rhonda Ledger, who has lived on the road for three years, say she can feel her house shake as traffic flies past. “This road is a nightmare. You can hear them racing past at well over 50mph,” she told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
