Introduction Background 1.1 The need for local transport authorities to prepare a statutory Local Transport Plan (LTP) was first set out in the Transport Act 2000. This required authorities to produce a 5 year plan setting out their policies and programmes for transport, together with a set of targets against which to monitor progress. 1.2 The more recent Transport Act 2008 gave local authorities the freedom to decide for themselves how many years future LTPs should cover, including the option to set different time spans for the strategy and implementation plan elements. 1.3 At the time that the 3rd LTP was being prepared, there was great uncertainty around the future of transport nationally following the change of Government in May 2010 and the subsequent Comprehensive Spending Review announced in October 2010. As a result, the Council adopted a “light touch” approach for LTP3, with the adopted Plan covering just two years – 2011/12 and 2012/13.

Its rural geography is peppered with a collection of (mainly small) towns, some of them on the coast. To the east is the North Sea, to the north the Humber estuary and to the south the Wash. It’s a coastal region that is inevitably peripheral. The county of Lincolnshire as a whole does a poor job of attracting passers-by. Along its western flank lie the old Great North Road (the A1) and the East Cast Main Line railway. Traffic on both is long distance. Stop-off points and intermediate stations are for a small minority, and entrées into the large county of Lincolnshire unadvertised and easily missed by the casual traveller.

    County Rail Strategy Will Also Help Inform Such Scheme Promoters Where They Are Likely to Receive Political Support from Lincolnshire County Council

    Supporting Lincolnshire Railways Page 1 Foreword Railways play an integral part of the transport network in Lincolnshire. For passengers travelling by train, the railway is an efficient mode of transport to travel to work, for business and for days out. Without railways in Lincolnshire, up to an additional 4 million car journeys and over 2 million lorry journeys may be seen on our roads. In this respect, railways also play an integral role in reducing congestion and carbon emissions. For many motorists, however, railways (in particular level crossings) may be perceived as a nuisance and, in key places such as Lincoln High Street and Tallington actually contributing to congestion. Its for such reasons that the County Council needs a rail strategy to help structure dialogue with Network Rail to resolve these concerns. We do indeed hope that through our discussions with the rail industry, and in particular with Network Rail, that these key level crossing issues will be resolved in the next few years as part of work to improve the ‘Joint Line’ between Doncaster and Peterborough. At the same time, there are calls for improved passenger facilities and new stations across Lincolnshire, faster journey times and new freight facilities, such as the terminal in South Holland which has recently been the subject of public consultation. This County Rail Strategy will also help inform such scheme promoters where they are likely to receive political support from Lincolnshire County Council. I am therefore very pleased to present to you this first edition of the County Rail Strategy, to review how our railways work now and how we would like them to work in the future.

The elevation of the area is only slightly above sea level with extensive areas of reclaimed peat and marshland. As a result, this region has a long history of flood risk. In the 1970s a flood relief channel was built to provide flood storage in the lower reaches of the Steeping River system, particularly during periods of tide lock. On the 9th June 2019, the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for North East Lincolnshire. On the 11th June at 08:20 a flood alert was issued for the Steeping River. Wainfleet All Saints Flood Warning was issued at 23:36 on 11th June 2019 and Great Steeping Flood Warning was issued at 23:12 on 12th June 2019. Over the next few days 1000 people were evacuated from their homes, extensive overtopping culminated in a breach in the bank of the relief channel on 12th June.
