Sent to Lincolnshire County Council 3 minutes later. Council ref: 370795.
There is a number of sinking areas on the road and multiple potholes. Lorries hit these areas and the building shakes violently. The issue would need addressing with some urgency due to the damage being caused to the houses close to the area.

When you surveyed 370795 the area to be fixed should start from the nursing home, The area you have marked in yellow are correct but you have missed two other section that are also causing issues with nearby buildings. These are on the section of road opposite the chimneys Nursing home going into the town. All these sink holes need to be addressed (please see attached photos, there are more but it only allowed 3 photos). It seems more logical to send out your surveyor again to add to the areas that you have already set out to be done, otherwise you will have to address the issue again.

Just received the latest on 370795 Does this mean you will be out within the next couple of days to do temporary repairs? As stated the problem needs addressing now urgently as it has not gone away, buildings are still shaking.

Lincolnshire County Council, your response dated 20th may is not acceptable. This was the same automatic response which was posted when I raised the issue 12 months ago on a different case number, nothing was ever done. This new thread is from a neighbour of mine who has also got fed up with the issue. There are now 4 different neighbours that are getting worried with this issue. Houses are shaking and causing damage. The road is sinking badly and it might be a collapse of something under the road. HGVs are flying past at way over 30mph and the shaking is not only damaging the properties but also causing stress and lack of sleep. I am going to start purposely double parking on this road to ensure that traffic has to slow and go through in single file. This is not going to be popular with road users but I'm sure you can understand the frustration of many of these property owners due to damage being caused to houses. I feel If this was a member of the council living in one of these affected properties it would be dealt with as a matter of urgency. This has been going on for over 12 months now and needs fixing urgently. Thank you
