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.

    Mud on the A17 on the slip road in to Beckingham is a hazard especially in wet conditions..coming from land with no planning permission to build and enter A17 from a dangerous angle..

  • Cobbling Stamford

    by GARY, about 2 years ago
    Why is it that LCC can waste 1.4 million pounds which has been put aside for re-cobbling one Road in Stamford when the mayor for Stamford has clearly pointed out on East midland news that tarmacing the Road would be cheaper and some money could go to potholes.

  • Forgotten village's a disgrace.

  • North Parade, shoddy repair

    by Frances Carson, about 2 years ago

    Rubbish pothole repair on North Parade. Lincoln. Whoever is doing the pothole repairs should be sacked. Didn't even remove the existing rubble before they put tarmac into the hole. Already crumbling 2 weeks later. Shoddy job, will need redoing again in no time.

  • Outer Circle Drive, Lincoln

    by JDJ, about 2 years ago
    When are the Council Tax payers of St. Giles and Road Tax payers going to get the disgusting state of the road surface on Outer Circle Drive fixed?

    Lincolnshire County Council has wasted money on various "improvements" which have done very little in the way of actually improving matters.

    The Wragby Road/Outer Circle Drive/Road junction, the Riseholme Road/A46 roundabout, and the unnecessary resurfacing of roads on the Ermine East estate to name just three.

  • Heckington and East Heckington

    by Heckington Parish Council, about 2 years ago

    Issues in Heckington and East Heckington

    Our Parish has a great many outstanding issues on both roads and pavements – some have been reported many times by residents directly to Highways, or via the Parish Council offices. Judging by the age of some reports, it would certainly suggest that juggling the few funds that are available results in some works being pushed further down the line. When there is a major accident on the A17, our village is the used as the main diversionary route and there are concerns that the current road surfaces will not be able to withstand...

  • Outstanding issues in Scothern

    by Scothern PC, about 2 years ago

    Detailed below are outstanding Highway issues in Scothern:-

    Overgrown hedge on junction of Lime Tree Paddock/Main Street preventing use of the metalled footpath by pedestrians/wheelchairs/pushchairs - ongoing since 2014.

    Maintenance to the cycle path on eastern side of Sudbrooke Road (between the villages of Scothern and Sudbrooke and used by school children who scoot and cycle to school) - ongoing since 2016.

    Maintenance of the metalled footpath on the western side of Sudbrooke Road (between the villages of Scothern and Sudbrooke used by walkers, children walking to school - it is currently not fit for wheelchairs and/or push chairs -... Continue reading

  • Barkwith Road, South Willingham

    by SWPC Parish Clerk, about 2 years ago
    As a parish council we have been trying to get the potholes fixed on this road in South Willingham for some considerable time and certainly for over a year. We have knowledge of a jogger falling and seriously banging his head and cutting his face as a result of tripping in a pothole. Cars take the turning at the T-junction very wide to avoid the uneven edge of the road only to meet oncoming traffic. The village is used by many cyclists and horse riders who have to pick their route down the road to navigate the very poor road... Continue reading

  • Back Lane, Old Bolingbroke

    by ilg246, about 2 years ago


    Still waiting for these potholes to be filled. Photo was taken about a year ago so the surface is worse. Domestic car drivers risk damage to their vehicles on several roads in the Village. Hareby Hill, Moat Lane (due for repairs next month), Hagnaby Road as well. Sympathy with Highways but at some point residents must see improvements.

  • Potholes on Bassingham road

    by Tony, about 2 years ago
    The potholes on Bassingham road are getting worse, you have to avoid them and makes it unsafe if a cyclist or car is coming the other way as there os no way to avoid them. My wife travels that way quite often and hit the potholes one day and it caused a bulge on the tyre wall and now the tyre is scrap as it’s unsafe to drive on.
