We are sorry that we are not taking immediate action with this report. Ditches are not maintained by Lincolnshire County Council Highways. The Environment Agency and Independent Drainage Boards are responsible for ditches and waterways. Our records show that the drains in this area were cleaned in the last year and were running well. In times of extreme weather even the most efficient systems can become overwhelmed. If the problem recurs in less extreme conditions please report this again. Thank you for reporting this matter.
State changed to: No further action
