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.

    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.
  • Appauling state of road in Alford

    by shellby66, about 2 years ago
    I feel I need to bring to someone's attention the state of Willoughby rd in Alford where the new houses are been built, the road is treacherous


    I witnessed only last week a motorbike slip in the mud and the driver was lucky and able to get back on but it is so dangerous cars are skidding due to the mud on the road that is coming from the building site. They are four schools in the area and would hate to think a school bus or car slipping in the mud surely the builders should have a duty to... Continue reading
  • Appalling Roads Management

    by Paul, about 2 years ago


    I would have a lot more sympathy for the County Council and its claim for additional Governmental support if the resources it has received in past years had been more wisely used.

    Here in Grantham, the County and District Councils have between them contrived to waste huge amounts of money without necessarily improving the road infrastructure on which resources have been directly or indirectly squandered. Examples include:-

    a) the totally unnecessary resurfacing of numerous housing estates (Barrowby Gate, Sunningdale, St. Vincents - and others) whilst more important roads carrying more and much heavier traffic have been largely ignored. Why was... Continue reading

  • Heckingtons Road of Shame

    by Peter Rudd, about 2 years ago
    I moved to the picturesque village of Heckington in December 2018. Kyme Road links the village to Howell and South Kyme and at certain times of the day is heavily trafficked with cars, HGV's and agricultural vehicles.

    Over the past 2 years I have noted a slow and relenless deterioration in the road surafce and the condition of the roadside footpath. This matter has been brought to the attention of Lincs Highways following the involvement of the parish council and our local councillor. In December 2019 following an on-site inspection by a highways senior officer, it was agreed the footpath... Continue reading

  • This hasn't happened overnight

    by In-a-fix, about 2 years ago
    I have worked on LCC Highways for over 30 year. This hasn't happened overnight. During the last 30 years the Councilors have always said that they decide where the funding goes and have taken Highways budgets for other demands.

    I was walking from my home in Horncastle and intended to cross over the Horncastle High Street from the market place to the Punch House Building to attend a church service at 10 a.m at St. Marys Church. As I proceeded to cross over I did not see a road indentation and I fell heavily causing facial injuries. I was able to first aid treatment at Grace Boutiques in the Punch House building. The road surface at this point was uneven when it was examined afterwards
  • Ancaster to Colsterworth B6403 Road

    by Keith, about 2 years ago

    We were travelling by car towards the A1 from Horncastle on May 31st at 11.05 a.m.. We encountered a large circular pothole in the carriageway measuring 20 inches in diameter and 100 mm depth and we were unable to take avoiding action in time as approaching fast moving traffic was approaching . We both heard a loud bang. We decided to stop further on near the Cold Store facility to examine the car before going on the A1. We could not see any visible damage and decided to proceed without any other problem. On our return home, I approached Simon... Continue reading

  • Icy Roads

    by Pauls, about 2 years ago
    The last few nights it has been heavy frosts and the roads are very dangerous in the mornings

    why have they not been gritted? in fact I have not seen the road gritters out at all this year!!

  • High Meadow - Grantham

    by MR, about 2 years ago
    What I don’t understand is why some roads have been resurfaced and those with large deep potholes are left unworked.

    Having a family member just paying out nearly £100 to replace the tyre after dropping into a very large pot hole on the road. When other cars are parked on the road you are forced over and no room to avoid them.


  • How many tyres??

    by CW, about 2 years ago
    I travel to Boston daily for work along the A17. I live in Sleaford but I also collect my son from Fulbeck daily travelling the A17 from Holdingham towards Newark and back to Sleaford. There are a number of large potholes that have been repaired and deteriorated once again that are near Cranwell airfield and the speed camera. They are on either side of the road and one in particular is a jagged long pothole in the middle of the road, if not careful you hit it when heading east.

    I have paid out for the same tyre on my... Continue reading
