12 Lincoln Road, Brookenby, Market Rasen
Reported via mobile in the Collapsed verge category anonymously at 16:39, Mon 16 January 2023
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 444211.
The owners of 12 Lincoln Road took it upon themselves to make a driveway on the public grass verge. They got a builder to clear away the grass and lay down tarmac, then the house owner connected an electrical supply and installed a car charging post. I spoke to the builder who said to his knowledge no consent had been sought. They also changed the kerb to a dropped kerb. This was completed in December 2022, although there are still piles of rubble either side of the drive. I would like to stress that this 'private use' driveway has been carved out of public grassland, where local children like to play especially in summer. It is NOT on their own private property or garden. I consider it an eyesore and unsafe with a drive and charging station crossing an area where children play.
