A Lincolnshire County Council spokesman explained that once all of the information has been collected, a team of analysts will check, process and review all of the data, ready for it to be incorporated into a new traffic model for the area.

Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “By collecting up-to-date traffic flow and journey time statistics using a range of data-gathering tools, we can use the intelligence we gather to help reduce delays and congestion in the town centre.

"Once completed, the new traffic model will also be used in an updated version of the Spalding Transport Strategy.”
