Lincoln overnight road closures announced
Drivers in Lincoln are being told to expect disruption with further overnight road closures in August, as work continues to improve access to new homes. Since April, work has been taking place to improve the eastern access to Tritton Road, for new housing development Charterholme. City of Lincoln Council said contractors would be installing new traffic lights at the junction of Tritton Road with Dixon Street. The junction will be closed between 20:00 BST and 06:00 from 4 to 15 August, it said. Temporary traffic lights and a diversion will be in place during the work, the council said. Maria Clayton, of City of Lincoln Council, said: "This is a key stage in delivering improved access to the Charterholme site and upgrading vital infrastructure along Tritton Road. "We understand road closures can be inconvenient, which is why our contractor is carrying out this work overnight to minimise disruption on the road network. We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation as we work to complete these essential improvements." As part of the project, a new road bridge is being built over the railway line.

Council's pigeon-proofing measures at bus station
A council has taken steps to stop pigeons from nesting and creating mess at a bus station in Lincoln. The City of Lincoln Council has installed a series of pigeon deterrents and will increase the number of bins at Lincoln Central Bus Station. The birds' presence had caused hygiene concerns and had impacted the overall experience for bus users, a spokesperson for the authority said. Councillor Joshua Wells said: "Regular bus users have previously raised their concerns and now, thanks to the new measures, the building is proving to be a more appealing space." A net and rounded spikes were installed in the open-plan station to stop pigeons from accessing certain areas and nesting on the ledges and beams. Wells added that more bins will be put in place and encouraged station users to dispose of waste effectively to "help keep the area clean and discourage the pigeons from returning". A council spokesperson said the measures were chosen as they "effectively discourage pigeons from roosting or nesting without causing them harm". They added that the deterrents have already seen a "significant reduction" in the number of pigeons in the station. The council said they will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the deterrents.
