Works to improve the A153 in Raithby cum Maltby will start in early September.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Immediately following on from our major reconstruction works to the A153 in Horncastle, the team will be heading north to Raithby cum Maltby to rebuild another failing section of the A153.

“This stretch of A153 in Raithby cum Maltby will take up to a month to reconstruct, with up to 3,500 tonnes of road building materials set to be used.”

Cllr Hugo Marfleet, county councillor for Louth Wolds, said: “I’m very happy that these roadworks will be happening because this section of the A153 needs to be repaired.

“I very much look forward to driving on the resurfaced road when it’s ready, and I know that others will enjoy the safer, smoother journeys too.”
