Very dangerous overhanging tree branches all along Quebec Road

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown tree/hedges category anonymously at 18:09, Tue 22 June 2021

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 399449.

From Seaview car park to the Seal sanctuary in Quebec Road the large Poplar trees are dangerously overhanging the road. Every time a large lorry or double-decker bus goes along the road branches snap off causing a traffic hazard, especially when the trees are wet or in windy weather. These trees need to be cut right back away from the busy road.

  • These trees are not on the publicly maintainable highway. To find the owner of the land you could contact Land Registry at https://www.gov.uk/ government/ organisations/ land-registry Thank you for reporting this matter.

  • It is not my job as a member of the public reporting a road hazard to pay the land registry to search for a landowner! As I said these trees are overhanging the road by a large amount and need to be cut back to prevent a serious injury to motorists or pedestrians. The landowner is irrelevant as they are overhanging the public highway.

  • This photo shows how far the trees are now overhanging the road. The road is used by double decker buses every half hour and is a danger to motorists and pedestrians
