Poppy roundabouts painted for Remembrance Day

In time for Remembrance Day 2024, striking poppy artwork has been painted on roundabouts across Lincolnshire to honour servicemen and women past and present.

All materials and labour have been generously provided by volunteers, who gave their time and resources to complete the installations across eight key locations ahead of this Sunday’s commemorative events.

The roundabouts featuring poppy designs are located at:

• B1174 Tollemache Road (part of Grantham Southern Relief Road)
• A52/B1176 Roundabout Old Somerby
• Gunby Roundabout
• A16/A157 Roundabout
• Riseholme Roundabout
• A15 Sleaford Road (part of Lincoln Eastern Bypass)
• Bourne Road / Raymond Mays Way
• A17/A16 Roundabout

Councillor Richard Davies, executive member for highways at LCC, said: “Our roundabout poppies receive incredibly positive feedback from locals and visitors and are a suitably public way for us to show our support for servicemen and women past and present.

“We support acts of Remembrance across the county every year and will continue to wherever possible to show our appreciation for those who serve their country.”
