Closed
Outside entrance to ivy day centre, Albion street
Reported via mobile in the Street light category anonymously at 20:58, Wed 18 January 2023
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 444588.
The light is surrounded by branches which, when the leaves have grown in March / April, will be completely obscured. This will defeat the object of having a light, especially at the drive to the ivo day centre which Lincs CC own. The branches need cutting back now so the light can be clearly seen and shine onto the path. Safety for pedestrians.

How is it complicated? All it needs is branches cutting back around and under the light. Should take 10 minutes. Ladder and chainsaw. Job done.

Please advise why no further action. The light is clearly obstructed by the branches. If the branches are not cut back might as well not have a light there as it won’t be shining on the ground, as branches and leaves are in the way. Surely for the safety of pedestrians the light needs to be visible & shine on the path

We've been informed by the land owner that their overgrowth is now clear of the street light. Thank you for reporting this matter.
