    Covid & still no better

    by Bex from Sleaford, over 3 years ago

    I have worked from home most of covid luckily but found that when I need to drive the repairs have failed and the only road that is better is from Great Gonerby going towards Belton over the hill. We need to get better at fixing the roads in this county to stop damage to vehicles and help people travel safely no matter what their mode of travel.

    playing at it.

    We live at Lissington, The road between Lissington and Linwood recently underwent some "repairs" although many potholes were not addressed, a number of the repairs" done are now crumbling due to the weight of our present day traffic, and remain a danger to all road users, especially cyclists and motor cyclists. What happened to the system of tar and chippings? This system sealed the whole road surface so there were no mid-road edges to erode, and was very effective for a long time.

    This month will see the fourth anniversary of the initial report to LCC Highways (LCCH) 'Fix My Street' internet reporting facility and it is not a Happy Birthday. Needless to say it still remains to be fixed despite over 20 reports in the past year!

    So much so that had LCCH carried out the necessary remedial work when first alerted what will now be a very expensive project involving over 200m of roadway would have been easily affordable.

    The whole surface of Normanby Rise is now a patchwork of recently filled potholes, filled but breaking up potholes and unfilled... Continue reading

    Transport Research Laboratory state "Prevention is better than cure" for potholes

    by Steve , over 3 years ago
    In Feb 2022 a survey device capable of monitoring road condition will be launched on to the UK market. It is capable of finding minor changes in road surfaces so that pot holes can be detected as they start to happen, this allows authorities to rectify an issue before it becomes costly.

    TRL report on potholes stated "prevention is better than Cure" since this finding 10 years ago we have not changed the way we do things and the pothole problem is getting worse.

    Using this specialist equipment, together with the skills in the Lincolnshire Laboratory we can reduce the... Continue reading

    Potentially Fatal For Bikers

    by Matt A, over 3 years ago
    Like many others in Lincolnshire I ride a motorcycle and use it as my primary mode of transport. Living in a rural County means that travelling by car or bike is a necessity rather than a luxury.


    In all the years of riding, I've never seen the roads in as bad a state as they are now. They are reminiscent of rural third world countries.


    Loose and uneven road surfaces are a death trap for bikers. The deteriorating road surface, potholes and general state of degradation can easily result in loss of traction and a slide/drop that otherwise wouldn't have... Continue reading

    Noise Pollution as well as car damage

    by NewtonPlace, over 3 years ago
    The B1174 Gonerby Road, between North Parade and the Downtown roundabout, has deteriorated rapidly over the last 2 years. The number and scale of potholes has increased exponentially, due to the increase in traffic, particularly heavy lorries and trailers, following its use as a main diversionary road from the numerous scheduled and unscheduled A1 closures, and the closures of the A52 Barrowby Road and A607 Springfield Road during the extensive railway bridge repairs. Obviously, the potholes damage cars and other vehicles, and the risk of accidents increases as drivers engage last minute manouvres to avoid them. There is however, another... Continue reading

    Woeful Attempts

    by Dean, over 3 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 3 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 3 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.
