Residents in East Halton will soon see progress on plans to repair and strengthen College Road, with the project moving into its next stage following work to address the nearby badger sett.
The sett has now been safely collapsed in line with environmental guidance, allowing the council and its partners to move forward with the scheme.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Residents in East Halton have been incredibly patient while the issues around the badger sett have been worked through.
“The important thing now is that we can move forward with a clear plan to repair the road and make it safe for the future.
“I’d also like to thank partners and environmental bodies for working with us pragmatically so that we could both protect wildlife and get this important repair project back on track.”
Finalising engineering plans have now been received and to repair and stabilise the embankment – with a formal procurement and contractor appointment stage.
Subject to final confirmation and contractor availability, the council expects physical works on site to begin in early May, with the aim of completing the improvements by 1 July 2026.
Further updates will be shared with residents as the final design is confirmed and work on site approaches.
