History

Situated in North Lincolnshire, Winterton is a town of around five thousand inhabitants and lies about 5 miles north-east of Scunthorpe.

Although not a great deal is known about its early history, Winterton is known to have had significant Roman connections. The old Roman road of Ermine Street runs nearby and many Roman artefacts have been found in the area including in 1747 the discovery of well-preserved mosaic pavements. William Fowler a local builder produced some highly-acclaimed prints of these pavements and some of his original work is held at North Lincolnshire Museum ... read more history here.

Speeding and Traffic Calming - North Lincolnshire Council are consulting on speeds on our roads and how to improve some of the roads in the Town. North Lincolnshire Council are considering putting speed humps on Earlsgate as a traffic calming measure. They are the ones like those on Ferry Road in Scunthorpe. It is hoped that the lighting on Earlsgate will also be improved as we have had several people asking for it to be much brighter on Earlsgate in the Winter Time.
Consultation on the Local Development Plan - this is about the boundary line which documents where development can take place and where it cannot. North Lincolnshire Council are looking to give local councils the opportunity to change the boundary line which will show where permitted development will be over the next 25 years. You can see this on the North Lincs Council website and if you have any views on this please let Winterton Council know what you think.
Winterton Community Plan - to update its Five-year Community Plan and to help formulate a Ten-year Community Plan, Winterton Town Council hope you will find time to complete their survey.
