Kitty Briggs Cycle Path
Lincolnshire Count Council are currently making additions and improvements to NCR15 on Harlaxton Road between Kitty Briggs Lane and the A1 flyover. A new section of path has been built during the last 2 weeks meaning NCR15 will run as a traffic free path from Wharf Road up to The Farrier PH, some nearby old sections of cycle path and kerb stones are are also to be replaced soon.
In addition to the NCN works a Safe Routes to Schools path has also been constructed along Kitty Briggs Lane up to the entrance of Walton Girls School. Finishing touches such as signing are to be added but the pictures below give you an idea of the works.
