Rec Road: we have been here so many times!
Latest News: The recent declaration of support by Tesco, for the Sleaford Re-generation, came just a week or two before the latest news from Bridlington where the Towns plan appears in jeopardy after Tesco seem to have pulled out of a deal there!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sleaford Boston Road Rec Road saga has been round the houses so many times I am sure some people must be feeling dizzy by now. I have covered these issues many times and I will say no more.
The BBC Lincolnshire Web-Site covers it today - which is a follow up to the Look North broadcast a few nights ago!
The issues are much more complex than the BBC gives it credit - as many residents know!

Community Policing?
Post Note: The idea has sprung from residents in Sibsey near the East Coast. There appears no appetite elsewhere (not to my knowledge in Sleaford anyway).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I picked up this article on the BBC Lincolnshire web site.
It seems like a "souped up" Neighbourhood Watch companion: to all those involved in the Sleaford & District NW. Anyway I do not know how advanced these ideas are, or if they would work.
Ciao!

It is nearly Easter: any sun Sleaford?
Update: So far: everything as predicted. One of the coldest March's on record.
I put a message on Facebook re the possible weather for Easter: so here is one similar.
It is turning out to be a cold March and wet. I am fed up with looking out at cloud, rain and sleet.
The US Weather Channel has put out a forecast for Easter (2 weeks away as I write) and, caveats apart about probabilities of accuracy, this is what it says.
Weather Channel Forecast For Easter.
Now we are near Easter keep an eye on the Met Office forecast.

Watch your Vehicles
This information is on the airwaves: local News Papers will also have picked it up.
VEHICLE CRIME ALERT
Throughout Lincolnshire, we are currently seeing a rise in vehicle crime.
Criminals are targeting ANY vehicle that has items of value on show in smash and grab raids.
Although you may think leaving small change on show in your vehicle will not attract a thief – think again.
We have had an incident where a £3.99 phone charger has been targeted and the owner having to replace the broken car window. (Normally around £75.00 insurance excess.)
Please take our advice and remember if you want your car and belongings intact when you return to it,
follow these simple tips:
- Do not forget to lock windows and doors – even if you are only leaving your car for a few minutes while paying for petrol.
- Ensure ALL items are removed from view – this means ALL items! Remember if they can sell it or use it, they will steal it.
- Remove SATNAV suction marks or holders. If they can see these marks, they will be tempted to break in to see what maybe be stored in the glove compartment.
Park in a well lit street that is used as a pedestrian route, quiet locations are a must for car thieves.
If you see any suspicious activity, ring our Force Control Room on 101 and we can record the details.

Horse Meat Scandal: Farmers to the rescue?
Update: Here is one of a number of articles on the same theme as below.Farmers own Produce.
"I fully support the line taken. Everything else (nearly) is owned by outsiders and the food chains crisscross across Europe and beyond before they reach our Supermarkets and Dinner Tables. Meanwhile we close our own food processing factories in favour of other locations outside the UK. Time to get back to basics!I have a horrible feeling we might have had this going on for longer than we like to think. As we, as a community and nationally, have seen controls pass outside our area"
So Sleaford and Lincolnshire generally may be able to play a remedial part in this.
There were lots of articles in the media so I also had a go.
I managed to get my three Pennies worth into debate on Yahoo about the Horse Meat scandal.
“So back to the Farmers Markets and locally produced food! Then we can apply our own standards and get control of the labelling. About time too - we didn't think these cheap offers were all above board did we? Obviously we did! There's no such thing as a free meal.”
It got a thumps up. The general mood is to get back to local control and that might just help Lincolnshire generally."
