Large parts of Winterton streets will be resurfaced this autumn as the council continues work to improve roads across North Lincolnshire.

Crews are due to start on King Street, Park Street, Hart Lane and Mill House Lane on Monday 19 October, with work scheduled for completion by Friday 6 November.

Alongside the new road surfaces, they will replace kerbs where needed, adjust drains and drain covers and put road markings back in place.

The work follows improvements completed in 30 towns and villages across North Lincolnshire. The council has also filled more than 18,000 potholes, tackling smaller defects alongside more extensive work like the resurfacing planned for Winterton.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Whether it’s a pothole outside someone’s home or a street that needs a new surface, people want to see the work getting done.

“We’ve improved roads across 30 communities and filled more than 18,000 potholes. Now we’re moving ahead with a substantial programme on four streets in Winterton, because keeping the roads people rely on in good condition matters.”

Work has been completed in Ashby, Barrow, Barton, Belton, Bonby, Bottesford, Broughton, Burringham, Burton, East Halton, Epworth, Flixborough, Fockerby, Garthorpe, Gunness, Haxey, Hibaldstow, Holme, Kirmington, Kirton, Melton Ross, Messingham, Roxby, Scunthorpe, Thornton Curtis, Winterton, Wootton, Worlaby and Wrawby.

Cllr Elaine Marper, Winterton ward councillor and cabinet member for customer services, said: “King Street, Park Street, Hart Lane and Mill House Lane are used every day by people living and working in Winterton. I know road condition is something residents notice, so it’s good to see these streets included in the programme.

“There will be some disruption while the crews are working, and we’ll make sure people have the details they need before work starts.

“Once it’s finished, residents will have smoother roads that are better to use – and we’ll be moving on to the rest of the roads that need sorting in Winterton – they are coming soon.”

North Lincolnshire’s mobile library is back on the road after extensive repairs and refurbishment work – keeping the much-loved service running safely and reliably for rural communities.

The loved vehicle has undergone a major overhaul, with extensive structural repairs – including a brand new floor – making sure it can continue delivering books, learning and support to residents.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Libraries matter and that includes making sure rural communities are not left behind.

“We continue to invest in libraries in North Lincolnshire at a time when many councils are cutting them back or closing them altogether – we do things differently here because we focus on the what is best for residents.

“We have promised to keep libraries open – and this mobile library is an important part of that wider commitment – bringing books, learning and services directly into communities in villages and market towns.”

The council has committed to buy a new electric mobile library however this refurbishment ensures residents continue to have access to books, learning and library services while the new one is built.

Every three weeks the mobile library visits dozens of communities, schools and neighbourhood stops across North Lincolnshire.

This includes Alkborough, Althorpe, Appleby, Barnetby, Barrow upon Humber, Belton, Bonby, Burringham, Burton upon Stather, Coleby, Dragonby, East Halton, East Lound, Eastoft, Flixborough, Garthorpe, Greetwell, Gunness, Gunthorpe, Hibaldstow, Holme, Howsham, Keadby, Kirmington, Luddington, New Holland, Normanby, North Killingholme, Risby, Roxby, Scawby, South Ferriby, South Killingholme, Thealby, Thornton Curtis, Ulceby, West Butterwick, West Halton, Westwoodside, Whitton, Winteringham, Wootton, Worlaby, Wrawby and Wroot,

It also calls at schools, mobile home parks and rural villages where access to services can be more limited. Routes operate across Mondays to Fridays on rotating three-weekly schedules.

Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for rural communities and market towns, said: “For many residents the mobile library is far more than a van delivering books. It is a regular community service that helps people stay connected, keeps children engaged with reading and learning, and supports residents who may struggle to travel further afield.

“It reaches communities right across North Lincolnshire every week and we know how valued it is by the people who use it.”

Libraries across North Lincolnshire now support residents with everything from borrowing books and accessing computers to community activities, study space and digital inclusion support, alongside initiatives such as the Imagination Library scheme which has gifted more than one million books to young children across the area.

Full mobile library route timetables and stopping points are available on the council’s website.

Plans to finally connect Scunthorpe’s southern motorway junction to the rest of the town have now been submitted – marking a major step towards delivering the long-awaited link.

The proposed road will connect the M181 roundabout directly to Burringham Road, turning what has long been seen as a standalone junction into a working southern gateway.

If approved, drivers in Ashby, Bottesford, Burringham, Yaddlethorpe and Messingham will benefit from a faster, more direct route to the motorway – easing pressure on Berkeley Circle and improving traffic flow across the town.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is a big step forward – we know residents have been asking for years where that roundabout leads and now we know. This is how this will be turned into a proper route.

“We’ve done the groundwork and secured the funding – now it’s right that the plans go through the proper planning process. This will be considered independently, as it should be, but what we’ve done is make sure everything is in place to deliver it.

The scheme will be delivered by Keepmoat and is funded through the Local Regeneration Fund, with funding confirmed as part of the council’s approved budget.

This latest milestone follows continued investment in the local road network, focused on keeping traffic moving and supporting growth across North Lincolnshire.

Cllr Neil Poole, deputy leader and cabinet member for highways, said: “This is the step that gets it moving.

“Once approved, this link will make a real difference – giving communities a direct route to the motorway and taking pressure off Berkeley Circle.

“It’s a practical improvement residents will feel every day.”
