1. What is the budgeted cost of the roadworks on the B1225 near Tealby, Kirmond Le Mire and Stainton Le Vale2.

2.What was wrong with the road that required so much repair work?

Decision

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1. The budgeted cost for the roadworks on the B1225 near Tealby, Kirmond Le Mire and Stainton Le Vale was £615,000.

2. This particular section of highway was exhibiting significant deep structural failures in the surfacing materials, indicating it was nearing the end of its serviceable life. This was the appropriate time for intervention. As with any road, if we delayed the work, its condition would only deteriorate further, which in turn would result in a more expensive repair, but more importantly, it could deteriorate to a point where its condition became unsafe for motorists.
