LETTER: Extending ‘keep clear’ hatching would help

Pleased to see that Swan Street is going to be closed.

That would allow for a left turn filter from Winsover Road into Station Approach which would ease congestion on Winsover Road.

Extending the yellow “keep clear” hatching at the top of St Thomas’ Road to the far side of Winsover Road would also help traffic wanting to turn right from St Thomas Road into the town centre.

Editor’s note: The closure of Swan Street is one of the options being considered by Lincolnshire County Council.
