• North Parade, shoddy repair

  by Frances Carson, over 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, over 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.

  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, over 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, over 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

  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, over 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.

• Rural county challenges

  by SJGrantham, over 2 years ago

  The nature of my job means I have to travel to work, mostly in the South Kesteven area. The smaller roads are unsuitable for the increasing number of lorries and subsequently the damage they cause to road surfaces and environment. I try and walk into town as much as possible but the traffic going through Grantham town centre does not make it pleasant, roll on the completion of the southern relief road. There is no incentives for cyclists and the pot holes and haphazard parking makes it dangerous. Traffic by the hospital can be awful exacerbated by the number of... Continue reading

• Vital links

  by @lunch, over 2 years ago

  In the south of the County we have an increasing population, increasing food processing industry. We have improved the number of A roads and they're suitability for HGVs, they are popular as a result. The majority of the working population have to use a car for work. The economy is 100% dependent on hauliers. People are increasingly directed for appointments to hospitals. Much of this is at times that public transport does not cover. Use some money to educate employers about homeworking and leisure drivers about reducing avoidable journeys. Improve towns for cycle and pedestrian safety. Govt should incentivise the...

• Hobhole bank

  by Rob1982, over 2 years ago
  Has to be one of the worst roads in Lincolnshire, the road journey is like going on a theme park ride, never mind avoiding the potholes everywhere, and mud allover the roads from lazy farmers who can't be bothered to clean their mess from fields and even fly tipping makes its way on the road.
