 New directional signs highlighting more key amenities and attractions across Sleaford town centre are to be installed, to replace the existing signage in place.
The 10 existing green metal fingerposts are due to be removed later this month, to be replaced with an expanded wayfinding scheme following local input.
This expanded signage will better reflect all that Sleaford town centre offers since the current fingerposts were installed over 25 years ago, by highlighting heritage assets, shopping, leisure, attractions and other key aspects more effectively and across a wider area. North Kesteven District Council is leading on and undertaking the work, with Sleaford Town Council and Lincolnshire County Council as key partners.
The new wayfinding signage will be designed and shaped using local input, with opportunities for residents, businesses and key stakeholders to share their thoughts in different ways including engagement by consultants Landmark.
Updates will be shared to help ensure communities and visitors alike are aware of the changes in addition to the opportunity to help shape the new signage. Information will also be held on the Council’s website and through BusinessNK.
The project aligns with the Signage Strategy for Sleaford prepared by Lincolnshire County Council, North Kesteven District Council and Sleaford Town Council and adopted in 2018 following public consultation. Further information can be found here.
With flooding events becoming more frequent, the University of Hull’s Flood Innovation Centre is holding a free webinar to help businesses understand the risk that flooding poses to them and encourage them to develop a flood plan.
During the free webinar, the Flood Innovation Centre team will share case studies about individuals and businesses that have survived major flooding events, as well as highlighting the measures they have put into place to help them cope with future flood risk. The session will give businesses an insight into issues and solutions around flooding and business insurance.
The Flood Innovation Centre will also introduce its new, fully funded support service, which helps eligible businesses to understand the steps they can take to protect their premises and give themselves a fighting chance of surviving future flooding events.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday 29 March from 10am to 11:30am, for more information or to book a place click here.
