The precarious walk from Scampton to Lincoln won't receive any improvements
The A15 between RAF Scampton and Lincoln will not be upgraded despite safety concerns for asylum seekers.While
The stretch of the road has no footpath in places, with only a narrow footpath close to fast-moving traffic in others.there are no plans to add to or alter the paths in anticipation of migrants’ arrival. Scampton candidate Giles Sullivan previously expressed his concern over the migrant camp as he felt it would have a serious effect on road traffic safety.After first parking up in the lay-by outside RAF Scampton, I realised that I would need to cross the busy road to access the main path into the city.After a five minute wait, I eventually made it across to the other side, although only to find that the path in question was incredibly narrow.
The path continued past the Lincolnshire Showground and into Ermine, although problems of crossing the road arose again once I reached the Riseholme Roundabout, which is arguably one of the busiest around Lincoln.
