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.

  • Talk to each other?

    I find it bizarre: in Skegness, a nice neat new yellow line was painted along the roadside quite correctly - and across a pre-existing pothole. We now know parking on potholes is restricted.

    As a resident of Grantham and a regular commuter to RAF Cranwell i have to say that communication between agencies doesnt take place. Example…. Over a period of 5 weeks, the A607 between Belton woods and Barkston was dug up and very nicely resurfaced. 4 days ago roadworks… including digging a massive hole took place…. Why bother?


    And as were on the subject….. does anyone from Highways ever drive through Ancaster….. and if they do are they blind or stupid…check out fix my street snd see how many times yhe road has been reported. The romans had smoother roads

    The council are always talking about funding reductions, understandable? Yes of course. Why then is it that what funds are available are being squandered on sub standard 'repairs'. When a pot hole is filled, it is exactly that, it is filled with a bucket of tarmac into the hole which is filled with water and debris, with no edge sealant which means within a month it is as bad as it was. Surely if it was done properly, being dug out filled properly and sealed it would last many, many times longer. Maybe it would take a little longer to... Continue reading

    I have used fix my street quite a few times of late. The repairs have all been carried out within a reasonable time.

    I also, using the same site, told the council how bad our paths are. It has taken a while, but they have been, they have dug out the old, and completely renewed the paths.

    They have done a wonderful job and should be commended for once instead of criticised!

  • Greece has better roads than us

    by Fred Farhadian , over 1 year ago
    THIS IS BOTH SHAMEFUL AND DEPRESSING
    I go to Greece on holiday frequently, and for the first time in 20 years, our roads are noticeably worse than theirs.

    This is despite the famous financial crisis and the earthquakes factors.


    Our roads are Third World roads unfit for car use.

    I live at post code PE12 0TX. on B1166, my car hits the road at the underside.I have a normal height car.

    The old road from Dowsdale to Crowland is virtually impossible use without causing serious damage to the underside of the car.

  • High Claims Commitment

    by Kevin.Pridgen, over 1 year ago

    I hit a pothole traveling from Metheringham to woodhall spa which resulted in a burst tyre and cracked wheel hub, not a good thing to change a tyre in the dark, in the rain, on a bend in the road with reasonably heavy traffic. That cost the council over £800 for my claim, not what I pay my road fund licence for.

    I can fully understand why so many people buy 4x4 vehicles. It’s because of the terrible pothole ridden state of the counties roads!

    I think personally a speed limit of 40mph should be imposed on Bardney Causeway due to the state of the highway until its properly repaired,There has been one death already and numerous accidents over the past 18 months.

  • Making chapel saint Leonards more attractive

    by A Yorkshire visitor, over 1 year ago
    I'm only a tourist and not a resident but the area depends on tourism for a major part of its income.

    While visiting the area I noticed the street volunteer litter pickers and little chappie bin man doing a very good job trying to keep the beach and streets clean probably caused by the tourists in the first place.

    In the early morning 5-7am trunch lane looked dirty, and the promenade messy.

    On a recent Trip abroad the street cleaners were out early cleaning the tourist areas with road sweepers and hose pipes making it look tidy for when the... Continue reading

  • Dysart Road, Grantham

    by Chaddy, almost 2 years ago
    limited repairs have been done on the area between the entrance to Ambergate School and Barrowbygate - but only filling in major holes. -also minor areas have been left either side of the repairs. Road therefore still in further need of repair. Also the extremely tall trees in the same area have not been touched for several years and are overhanging the path - not to mention having some effect on the efficiency of my solar panels! The trees further down have seen work done - some twice and it would be nice if they moved up the road
