A five-month project to repair a cobbled road in Lincoln's historic Bailgate area has been completed. The £1.7m work involved removing, restoring, and replacing tens of thousands of stone blocks. Lincolnshire County Council removed 49,000 stone blocks and reused 32,000, replacing the rest with new blocks. Local businesses, including Lincoln Eco Pantry and House of Cards, struggled with deliveries and footfall during the repairs. The work was delayed by wet weather, originally scheduled to finish before Easter. The council aimed to create a safer, more durable surface while maintaining the area's character.
