Engine oil on road
Reported in the Road surface issue category anonymously at 13:21, Mon 4 May 2020
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 371016.
My neighbours van has been leaking engine oil all over shared driveway and main road for the last 2 months , which he is aware of as he puts a tray under van when parked on his drive. But when he parks van outside his house (13 holbourne site dawsmere road gedney drove end pe129pn) it leaves puddles of oil and when he drives off leaves a line of oil and drips on main road way. As you can see in photos I have attached. He then drives down road to walk his dogs at a farmers field and where he parks his van at the field, drops oil on ground there which is beside a dyke which is a water coarse. We have tried to speak to him about this but all you get is verbal abuse from him as he don't care! Please can you look into this as I don't think it is acceptable to knowingly contaminate the road and water coarses with engine oil.
