Reconstruction work for Boston roads

A roadworks sign

Works will begin on Forbes Road and Wellington Road in early April.

Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “It’s great news that we can get these roads in Boston resurfaced.

“The works will cost roughly £320,000 and will provide a considerably better road surface that will be of benefit to local residents and businesses for many years to come.

“We have to put a full road closure in place, because of the nature of the work. Inevitably there will be some disruption, but we’ll do our best to complete the works as quickly as we can.
