My snapped spring

Recently I had the unpleasant experience of having the rear leaf spring on my truck snapped by running through a deep pot hole.
I applied to lincs county council to fund the cost of the repair, which they did to approximately 70%, working on the fact the vehicle wasn’t brand new.
What they seem to have forgotten was that the whole process was a complete pain, two trips to the garage, a vehicle off the road for 36hrs, the time and energy to gather suitable information to apply, in no way was I compensated for any of this.
If I had hit this hole on a motorcycle I am pretty sure I would had a period of time in Lincoln county.

100% car park use would raise funds

My experience in Stamford is of irresponsible parking on narrow unsuitable roads as well as half on pavements causing pedestrian's need to risk walking in the road etc. Anything and anywhere to avoid paying parking fees! If central town roads were designated no parking areas and policed as such, car parking fees would generate cash to repair the Lincolnshire potholes.This could apply to other ancient towns in the County too but I cannot comment on their situation.

Potholes and road edges

As a user of Country roads, in a rural county, the number of times I have had to stop or swerve due to potholes and disintegrating road edges, avoiding oncoming traffic narrowly at times, is becoming much worse. Keeping roads safe and businesses connected matters.
