Governance
[edit]The village is one of eighteen parishes which, together with Boston, form the Borough of Boston in Lincolnshire. The parish forms part of the 'Five Villages'[clarification needed] electoral ward.
Before local government reorganisation in 1974, the parish was part of the Boston Rural District in the Parts of Holland division of Lincolnshire.
Transport
[edit]Sutterton is near the junction of the A16 and A17 roads and on the B1397. The Spalding bypass opened as the 'Spalding-Sutterton Improvement' in 1995.
The contract was given to May Gurney for £4,402,863 in June 1993 for 3 miles.[5][6] Work started in July 1993. The bypass was opened on Friday 30 June 1995 by Lawrie Haynes, chief of the Highways Agency.[7][8]
Until its closure in 1970, the village was served by Algarkirk and Sutterton railway station[9] on the Spalding to Boston line.
