    Dangerous Potholes throughout my village

    by Potholes aswarby, over 3 years ago

    Dear Sir Madam I am going around and around since reporting huge potholes throughout my village in Aswarby . Today the rains fills all the holes up so driving is treacherous as in the dark if you hit these dangerous potholes your likely to damage your tyres or more bicycles if they hit any of these holes would cause a serious accident which already has caused persons to break their cycle tyres. These dangerous potholes have been reported over 5 times given reference numbers told their investigating them all But No Actions happens. Over 20 large holes can be seen... Continue reading

    Potholes are painful!

    by Miss Bee, over 3 years ago
    I personally have a spinal condition and I’m in pain the majority of time.

    When I’m in the car and we drive over unavoidable potholes, this causes the car to jerk and as a consequence causes me extreme pain.
    It’s got to the point where there are certain routes I completely avoid.

    In modern day society it shouldn’t have to be like this!

    Selective Repairs

    by Tantivy, over 3 years ago

    Willoughby Road, the service road for Greylees, Sleaford, was peppered with potholes for a long time. Then the minor potholes among them were repaired, leaving two large ones near Rauceby station. The top surface of the road has gone all together here. Negotiating these holes means pulling out onto the other side of the road. Why they have not been repaired is a mystery.

    With the government priortising the NHS and social care, as much as I agree with trying to get the 12 million pounds reinstated I think you should firstly look at doing the best you can with what you have got. Should the council not

    give greater thought to making what repairs they do do 'good ones' and not ones that are filled one day and 2 days later back to where they were and tarmac pieces all over the road. Give the operatives the equipment they need to make good lasting repairs.

    A153 between North Kyme and Anwick is terrible and no sense of urgency to fix it. Drivers swerve to miss the potholes which is dangerous to oncoming traffic. I blew a tyre due to a pothole on the A153 to Horncastle and when I logged a claim with the council I was essentially told to bother proceeding with the claim as I wouldn't win!. There are too many lorries and farm vehicles on the A153 for the authorities not to maintain the road properly. Local taxes are always increasing but roads are getting worse.

    Potholes and road edges

    by Colin.Hopkirk, over 3 years ago
    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.

    My snapped spring

    by Matthew.Holmes, over 3 years ago

    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... Continue reading

    100% car park use would raise funds

    by Val.Harvey, over 3 years ago
    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.

    Underground services reinstatements

    by Peter.Mills, over 3 years ago

    As well as all the well known problems on our roads caused by heavy traffic, salt and poorly activated repairs by LCC , the never ending poorly -supervised reinstatements has been a concern of mine for ever.

    This is due solely to the highways department who have a perennial problem allowing service providers to do just what they like, in the knowledge that there will be no comeback.

    Better management practices, in my opinion, would massively reduce potholes from occurring in the first place.

    This should not involve any extra expenditure, and I can therefore understand central government in withholding... Continue reading

    by Mike G, over 3 years ago
    The road around Market Rasen area have terrible potholes and though some get fixed there are many more to mend. They need to be done properly though, I try and avoid if I can but some of the thumps I have heard under my vehicle in this area, feel like running over a ploughed field. We need our funds to be increased, not cut.
