Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 397376.
The grass verges in Langton Hill area are now 2feet long in places and in desperate need of cutting. It’s almost 6 weeks since they were last cut. Is there a problem?

This fault will be fixed as part of our next cycle of works. We cut the grass three times a year and treat weeds twice a year between April and October.

This is clearly not an acceptable or truthful answer. Kindly investigate and resolve urgently. I’m told the grass is cut approx every two weeks albeit there is a failure in the system somewhere.

Our apologies, the original enquiry referred to the grass verges in the Langton Hill area which we mistakenly thought related to the verges outside of the built up area on Langton Hill, beyond the national speed limit signs, so our apologies for this misunderstanding and any inconvenience caused. The verges within the urban area of Langton Hill are cut by Horncastle Town Council on behalf of LCC and they arrange their own cutting programme and although they are actually only required to undertake three cuts per year on our behalf we understand that they deliver a higher standard of service. Please refer your enquiry to the clerk, Mrs Bushell, for her attention. Thank you for reporting this matter.
