New speed limit planned for section of A52 near Boston following fatal or serious collisions
Under the plans, the A52 at Drayton, near Swineshead, would carry a 50mph limit between Bullen’s Lane and the South Street roundabout.
John Siddle, from the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership, said that in the last five years 13 people have been injured across a total of eight collisions in the area. Two of those received fatal injuries, he said, while two more were seriously injured. Nine were slightly injured.

Objections should be sent to Lincolnshire County Council via post or email ([email protected]) (for the attention of Mrs T. Featherstone, Traffic Orders Section) by October 15.
