Fix our funds to fix our roads

Council agreed again to fill the pothole in our 2023/24 highways funding from Government. An extra £7m of Lincolnshire’s cash is going into our roads.

Your County Views survey responses, FixMyStreet reports, and this campaign is strengthening the case for fairer funding in Lincolnshire.

If you or local businesses have been affected by poor road conditions, tell us. By talking about the impact the lost funding has on you, we can campaign Government together.

We expect there to be further funding cuts in the years ahead so please join our fight for crucial cash by sharing your stories below.

  • Foxby Lane

    by Foxby lane, 4 days ago
    Foxby Lane is now open! The cars speed down the lane adults, children and people with disabilities put their life in their hands trying to cross it.

    we need clear signs as to people crossing and speed humps to slow these people down, they definitely ignore the speed limits on this lane

  • Road Safety in 30 mile limit

    by Jean Dove , 17 days ago

    I have recently moved to Corby Glen, New builds Pastures Place, James Ancaster Avenue.

    I have noticed that the 30 mile limit is constantly ignored, which is a danger to all those living in that community.

    This being a identified issue, what would be a good fix solution would be to have 2 traffic speed cameras along the root of the 30 mile limit. The main road which runs up to the A1 Bourne Road is unsafe to the Corby Glen community.

  • 4 tyres in less than 2yrs

    by Tonikim, 29 days ago
    Following retirement and settling in Ingoldmells November 2022 we have had to replace 3 tyres due to pothole damage.We also had to have 2 shock absorbers changed at the same time.The tracking is constantly out because it’s impossible to avoid the road damage of potholes and wrecked kerbs on every road in and out of Skegness.My daughter also had to have her tyre replaced and the tracking done after visiting for Christmas-not the Christmas present she was expecting! Luckily my car is a mobility hire so other than the inconvenience it doesn’t cost anything but it does mean we have... Continue reading

  • State if the roads- appalling!

    by Wendy v, about 1 month ago
    I live in the north of the area and all the roads up here are just atrocious! We literally have to drive down the centre of the roads as there’s subsidence on the sides - into a massive drain that would swallow a car & has sadly as earlier this year a father and son died. Then in addition there’s potholes also deep and my neighbours steering was damaged! The A roads are terrible too. when you report this you are told yes they’re bad but we don’t have the staff to fix them so will monitor until they get... Continue reading

  • Poverty Ln, Tathwell - dangerous erosion wilfully ignored for years.

    by Jerome, 3 months ago
    The enclosed photos are from 2022, a year after these potholes were painted over rather than being repaired. They had been worsening since at least 2019. They have remained and progressed since - 5 years without repairs. In places they make the road too narrow for HGVs or caravans to safely pass, which kinds of vehicles use the road as a cut-through to the Horncastle Rd from the A16 on a daily basis. Around 2021 the road was given a surface dressing, excess of which was never cleared away - it still remains in places. The line painters simply painted... Continue reading

  • The Excuses Have GOT To Stop

    by Willum, 3 months ago

    I live in North Somercotes. If I want to go to Louth, or anywhere else inland for that matter, unless I make a fuel-wasting, time-wasting detour, I run the gauntlet of some of the most dangerous and accident inviting pieces of road I have ever come across - and that includes driving in North Africa and Eastern Europe.

    It's all down to poor maintenance. End of!

    The excuses trotted out about farm machinery and roadside drains, population density, miles of road per capita, blah, blah, blah etc etc, are so hackneyed they are almost (almost!) as potholed as the roads.

  • Blocked gulley.

    by TrevorC, 5 months ago

    The drainage gulley pot in Boultham Park Road, in the layby outside the Co-op has been blocked for months and there is usually a large pond there. Does the council unblock gulleys any more?

    by LMJ, 7 months ago
    I live in Covenham , there is always flooding in Newbridge Lane and Ings Lane. The drains cannot cope , there is still a broken manhole on the footpath and when this area floods it is covered with water as is the roadside dyke.

    Large potholes and uneven surfaces along Newbridge Lane , Birketts Lane, Grange Lane and Hurtons Lane are becoming dangerous for cars and pedestrians. All these have been reported to Fix my Street . Residents living on these lanes have no other access to their Homes . I live in Hurtons Lane and have complained repeatedly as... Continue reading
