An obscure Broughton byway has entered the limelight.
Scotland Street Lane (East), connecting Bellevue Crescent and Scotland Street, has featured locally for:
- Foot and carriageway reconstruction/upgraded lighting (starting 3 May and lasting for a month); restricted parking during works
- A recent burglary resulting in the loss of a computer and car
- Attempted theft (unsuccessful) of lead from the rear of Broughton St Mary's Parish Church.
The latter incident resulted in a broken window, and dislodgement of a coping stone (see photo).
The sudden flurry of activity has – so far – not dominated news agendas in the national media.
