The
In December 1968 a bypass was opened.[10] It was made of concrete and excessively noisy until it was resurfaced with tarmac in 2003, at a cost of £4.4 million.[11][12] West Kesteven Rural District Council did not like the ideas for the £942,000 Long Bennington bypass, calling it an absolute waste of money, and good food-producing land.
The British Frozen Food Federation[13] is based in the village. Leonardo DRS (DRS Technologies UK) have a facility in the north of the village on the Long Bennington Business Park, where they have their Air Systems EW Test business.[14]
Further south near Three Shire Oak, is the Roseland Business Park.
