Anglian Water to re-start work on major pipeline

Source: Alicia Kearns website

Anglian Water is to restart work on the Grantham to Peterborough section

of a major pipeline to increase the supply of water into the East of England. That work comes near to the Stamford to Bourne Road and was paused after land owners became concerned about how long it was taking. It's not known exactly when the work will start again but it's believed a meeting with Alicia Kearns, Anglian Water and local farmers has helped to get it underway sooner than originally planned.
