Former police houses on Stonebridge Road have been demolished as the first phase in a project to open the site up for much-needed new housing
Built in 1960, they have been not been lived in for more than 30 years, when they were used as storage by police. The police moved out of Stonebridge in 2007 and the properties taken over by Grantham College.
The property and land is now owned by South Kesteven District Council after being purchased from the College in 2019. The buildings were briefly used as offices by Grantham College but have not been fully used for at least 10 years, falling into disrepair.
SKDC will propose future development ideas for the site. No specific outcome has been decided but the council is currently involved in design and feasibility work for development options.
