    Appauling state of road in Alford

    by shellby66, over 3 years ago
    I feel I need to bring to someone's attention the state of Willoughby rd in Alford where the new houses are been built, the road is treacherous


    I witnessed only last week a motorbike slip in the mud and the driver was lucky and able to get back on but it is so dangerous cars are skidding due to the mud on the road that is coming from the building site. They are four schools in the area and would hate to think a school bus or car slipping in the mud surely the builders should have a duty to... Continue reading

    Appalling Roads Management

    by Paul, over 3 years ago


    I would have a lot more sympathy for the County Council and its claim for additional Governmental support if the resources it has received in past years had been more wisely used.

    Here in Grantham, the County and District Councils have between them contrived to waste huge amounts of money without necessarily improving the road infrastructure on which resources have been directly or indirectly squandered. Examples include:-

    a) the totally unnecessary resurfacing of numerous housing estates (Barrowby Gate, Sunningdale, St. Vincents - and others) whilst more important roads carrying more and much heavier traffic have been largely ignored. Why was... Continue reading

    Heckingtons Road of Shame

    by Peter Rudd, over 3 years ago
    I moved to the picturesque village of Heckington in December 2018. Kyme Road links the village to Howell and South Kyme and at certain times of the day is heavily trafficked with cars, HGV's and agricultural vehicles.

    Over the past 2 years I have noted a slow and relenless deterioration in the road surafce and the condition of the roadside footpath. This matter has been brought to the attention of Lincs Highways following the involvement of the parish council and our local councillor. In December 2019 following an on-site inspection by a highways senior officer, it was agreed the footpath... Continue reading

    I have worked on LCC Highways for over 30 year. This hasn't happened overnight. During the last 30 years the Councilors have always said that they decide where the funding goes and have taken Highways budgets for other demands.

    I was walking from my home in Horncastle and intended to cross over the Horncastle High Street from the market place to the Punch House Building to attend a church service at 10 a.m at St. Marys Church. As I proceeded to cross over I did not see a road indentation and I fell heavily causing facial injuries. I was able to first aid treatment at Grace Boutiques in the Punch House building. The road surface at this point was uneven when it was examined afterwards

    by Keith, over 3 years ago

    We were travelling by car towards the A1 from Horncastle on May 31st at 11.05 a.m.. We encountered a large circular pothole in the carriageway measuring 20 inches in diameter and 100 mm depth and we were unable to take avoiding action in time as approaching fast moving traffic was approaching . We both heard a loud bang. We decided to stop further on near the Cold Store facility to examine the car before going on the A1. We could not see any visible damage and decided to proceed without any other problem. On our return home, I approached Simon... Continue reading

    by MR, over 3 years ago
    What I don’t understand is why some roads have been resurfaced and those with large deep potholes are left unworked.

    Having a family member just paying out nearly £100 to replace the tyre after dropping into a very large pot hole on the road. When other cars are parked on the road you are forced over and no room to avoid them.

    How many tyres??

    by CW, over 3 years ago
    I travel to Boston daily for work along the A17. I live in Sleaford but I also collect my son from Fulbeck daily travelling the A17 from Holdingham towards Newark and back to Sleaford. There are a number of large potholes that have been repaired and deteriorated once again that are near Cranwell airfield and the speed camera. They are on either side of the road and one in particular is a jagged long pothole in the middle of the road, if not careful you hit it when heading east.

    I have paid out for the same tyre on my... Continue reading

    Please 'level up' our roads... by filling in the pot holes

    by SLB, over 3 years ago

    If the government is serious about levelling up, then a good place to start would be to fix the essential road infrastructure in rural areas such as Lincolnshire. The lack of regular public transport services mean that ensuring the roads are fit-for-use is a key part of supporting the county's socio-economic activities and community healthcare transport. A start would be reinstatement of the millions of £ that were reportedly deducted from the County Council's budget, but I suspect it requires much more investment. I personally would like to see where my road tax goes - is it spent in my... Continue reading
