County highways engineers today (Monday) closed the public footpath at the Spalding end of Barrier Bank because it’s no longer considered safe for pedestrians.
The council says the bank is subsiding and officers are now exploring alternatives, including building a new footpath on the opposite side of Barrier Bank next summer.
Senior highways officer Maxine Stukins said: “I’m afraid this footpath isn’t safe to use any more so we’ve had to close it. Over the next few months we’ll look at what options are available to us to either repair the path or replace it entirely.”
