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.

  • Woeful Attempts

    by Dean, over 2 years ago
    As a cul de sac with medium to minimum use other than residents and visitors, Walton Gdns in Grantham has a shocking history of road conditions and the feeling there are no councillors living in it gets little in the way of repair, the repairs that are done are woefully inadequate and don't last very long leaving use back to square one. It is about time the council invested in these new sustainable products and plastics to sustain long lasting repairs to all of the area, which in complete honesty, is countywide and disgustingly poor, considering the road tax paid...

  • Worst it has been in my lifetime

    by Glover, over 2 years ago
    To cut straight to the point, the roads are the worst they have been in my lifetime.

    Decades of minimal repairs and outsourcing of contracts has led to roads that in such bad condition that all it takes is a frost or heavy rain to open up potholes over night.

    In so many cases when in a line of traffic, you don't see the pot hole as soon as you would like, and have to choose whether to avoid it by taking to the verge, or moving towards oncoming traffic, both of which are dangerous options to take in a... Continue reading

  • 6 tyres in 2 years

    by Si, over 2 years ago
    Lived here for 2 years and whilst we do obviously try to avoid potholes it isn't always possible due to other traffic. So far I've replaced 6 tyres and have 2 damaged wheels, not an expense I expected. The roads here are awful and do need sorting out before someone gets seriously hurt.

  • A153 between Anwick and Billinghay

    by Katie F, over 2 years ago
    This road has degraded over the past two years into a dangerous state of repair. I believe this is due in part, to the large number of LGVs that use the route to service the food factories at Anwick and Ruskington. The patch just after the sharp right-hand bend on leaving North Kyme westbound is particularly treacherous, but the whole route between the above-mentioned villages requires urgent review and improvement. The road has begun to subside and crack on the approach Billinghay eastbound; this is particularly dangerous with a water course in close proximity to the road.

    In my opinion... Continue reading

  • A15 lincolnshire

    by H, over 2 years ago

    Here is my story. Christmas eve 2020. I hit a HUGE pothole. It bent my alloy wheel and broke my suspension. My car had done 3000 miles so was brand new!

    Other cars we badly damaged and the police attend the incident.

    My damage was £2000. I did not get anywhere with the council. I heard all about the problems with funding. My claim was refused as the road was ok at the last inspection.

    This should have been dealt with years ago before A roads were in this state. Now I make sure I avoid the potholes when driving... Continue reading
