Here’s an updated photo taken this morning I reported it to highways at Lincoln via telephone two weeks ago but as you can see work has carried on despite the report It’s quite considerably narrower now making the road dangerous as you cannt see oncoming vehicles on the road Why are they allowed to put houses so close to the road and make the road narrower without permission

It’s now been 14 days since I reported this and nothing has been done by the developers to make this road safe It’s a blatant contravention of the plans submitted I’ve seen them theve made the road a meter narrower Please can someone investigate before a serious accident occurs on a 60 mph stretch of country lane

I see the housing development has now finished narrowing the road Why are they allowed to do this. It’s very dangerous trying to drive past there now as it’s not wide enough to pass other vehicles going opposite direction If you don’t know it’s there in the dark a driver could mount the kerb at 60 mph without realising it’s now a pavement jutting out into the road

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the development at Wyberton and apologies for the delayed response. It does appear the footway does narrow the carriageway; however, we can confirm we have looked at the location of the new footway concerned and consider there to be sufficient width for vehicles to pass safely. This was also assessed when the highway authority was consulted by the planning authority during the planning stage. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and should you any have other concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for reporting this matter.
State changed to: No further action
