A new section of footway will be built on Wood Lane near St Bernard’s School in Louth.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “Starting next month, we’ll be starting work to extend the footway along Wood Lane to create a safer route to and from the school. We’ll also be resurfacing and re-lining Wood Lane’s junction with St Bernard’s Avenue while on site.
“We’ll be doing all we can to keep disruption to a minimum, including carrying out the phase of works just outside the school during half term. This will mean access for students, parents and staff won’t be affected during term time.”
Cllr Sarah Parkin, county councillor for Louth South, said: “I’m very pleased that the county council’s highways team will be starting work to extend the Wood Lane footpath next month. As it is now, the footway ends at the junction, meaning students don’t have a safe, paved footway to use when walking to school.”
