Horncastle roadworks - why not night time working?

That would keep the traffic flowing during the day and wouldn’t involve the chaos and congestion that will inevitably happen in the town centre.

I appreciate some residents might suffer from noise (at night) but surely any short-term issues would be overcome by long-term gains.

I note the county says one of the reasons for rejecting night work is the costs involved.

If that is the case then why am I told extensive roadworks in Woodhall Spa have just been completed on schedule with the majority of work taking place at night?
