Bus stop on Yarborough Road Lincoln opposite Liquorice Park

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 433145.
I am the Chair of Liquorice Park Millennium Green Trust which is a charity who manages the area of wild space between Carline Road and Yarborough Road . Next to our southern boundary is a bus stop on Yarborough Road. We believe that this was constructed around 30 years ago by the Lincoln County Council . As part of the construction a wall was built to protect users of the pavement from the land above it . The wall appears to be a concrete retaining structure and a standard brick wall in front of it to improve the cosmetic appearance.
We have noticed a small but gradual movement in the cosmetic wall so that it is beginning to lean over into the Yarborough Road pavement . We have inspected behind the concrete retaining wall and have noticed some cracking along it which would indicate that the movement is not simply limited to the brick cosmetic wall.
We wish to put you on notice of our concerns so that someone can come out and inspect the wall to ensure that it does not present an imminent danger to the public and to evaluate whether remedial action is necessary.
Would you please acknowledge receipt of this e-mail and advise us of what you propose?
Regards,
Philip Cragg
