    4 times the River Eau as flooded The Footpaths and Road on Lindholme taking the top surface down to Susworth. Nothing has been done to repair this mess. Get your act together and get the problem fixed.

    damaging potholes

    by Thea Whyte, over 1 year ago
    In 2023 I had 3 tyres damaged that had to be replaced, at my considerable cost whilst driving on East Lindsey roads, notably the Mablethorpe straight between the town & Maltby le Marsh.

    I use the road fromThe cross Inn in Mablethorpe to Trusthorpe. The road is wavy side to side and breaking up. One of the worst roads in the area.


    East Lindsey 'goes through the motions' of being open to consider compensation when several hoops have been jumped through but don't even respond let alone accept any responsibility.

    Lincolnshire issue

    by JV, over 1 year ago
    I’ve been travelling around the country a fair bit recently. Lincolnshire’s road are undoubtedly the worst. I actually struggled in Plymouth recently to see clearly in the roads- because they were so clear! When returning from Leicestershire I literally noticed the boundary of counties as I crossed it, the road surface was an instant give away. The funding by government needs to be shared based on need. Many other counties just don’t need as much financial support to repair their roads. Ours are horrendous. Also, have been proven unfortunately both dangerous and fatal

    Along with all the other potholes in and around the town, driving through Legbourne the past few days- terrible road conditions, potholes all on the road near the old Cyden Homes turning. I'm surprised I didn't get a damaged tyre, needs sorting.

    I used to drive HGV around the area and would report various pot holes and damages I saw during the day. I have just recently started to do the reporting again although I don't work anymore. I remember hitting a pothole in the dark and rain outside Cordeaux school gates and it was a deep one, called 101 Police as to me it was dangerous, and 4 hours after I reported it a red Audi hit the hole and ended up through the school fence, that hole should have been filled as an out of hours emergency! Cost me £400... Continue reading

    Saddleback Road, Skidbrooke

    by ColetteSarah, over 1 year ago

    I live at the east end of Saddleback Road so it is a regular road used by both myself and my family. The road is in such bad repair with so many potholes and a huge ridge running along the majority of the middle section of the road.

    A recent RTA happened whereby a vehicle was found in the dyke on its roof. It is not a surprise as the road is humped so much in the middle you feel like you are tipping into the ditch especially if you have to give way to an oncoming vehicle.

    The farmers... Continue reading

    Road to Skegness

    by mendonca1966, over 1 year ago

    I travel this daily. The stretch from the old tip to a mile or so past Burwell is an absolute disgrace, with many deep pot holes. In the dark it is well nigh impossible to ignore them and sooner or later there is going to be a nasty accident. I don't blame the Council per se but I do blame the local, supposedly Tory, MPs who do absolutely nothing for the County but who are quite happy to support wasting billions in the Ukraine.

    An accident is waiting to happen....

    by andy-c, over 1 year ago
    Warth Lane near Skegness is in a terrible state. Apart from potholes, the verges are narrow, collapsing and have dykes close by, while numerous kerbstones have been dislodged or out of line for years (to my certain knowledge). It is the road which gives access to Skegness Recycling Centre (SRC) , there is an electricity substation and several residential households so is well used and should be of an appropriate standard. It connects the A52 and A158 and is a potentially useful but presently totally unsuitable connection. I raised the matter with my local county councillor but failed to get... Continue reading

    by Bee, over 1 year ago

    We live at the end of a single track lane (it's a dead end); a ditch runs along the length of it. In the last 18 months, three vehicles have gone completely off the road and into the ditch, damaging the road surface on the ditch side. This was reported to Lincs Highways in 2022; their response was to (finally, in 2023) send workmen to build up the earth at the edge of the road, but did nothing with the asphalt, which is in such poor condition I can pick it off the road with my bare hands.

    I've reported... Continue reading

    I am fed up with, not just the bad state of roads and footway but reporting them to find that little or no action is being taken on most.
