Village could get £95k to improve facilities

A village stands to get more than £95,000 to help improve its facilities.

The proposals for Hemswell Cliff, in West Lindsey, will be discussed by the district council on 18 March.

Improvements would include floodlights and an outdoor gym in the, 15 drop kerbs around the village and the creation of paths suitable for wheelchair users.

A report for the meeting said several rounds of investment have already been made by the council for the village after the it was considered a "vulnerable rural community" after the Ministry of Defence left an RAF base in 2016.

The report, recommending the £95,042 is approved, said: "Caused by a disastrous MOD withdrawal from the site, the community was left unstable, under-resourced and at risk of further decline.

"Now, in 2025, the situation is substantially improved, reflecting the dedication to regeneration by West Lindsey District Council, Hemswell Cliff Parish Council, local partner organisations and residents in this area."
