Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 445997.
PLEASE could someone come and check the whole road for potholes, there are far too many to pick out or photograph individually. The road is part of the National Cycle Route 1 and in parts is in a terrible condition. The centre of the road appears raised so when it rains water stands on the sides of the road. With numerous deep potholes on the road edges it is impossible to see them after heavy rain. Far too many to pinpoint individually, in some places are potholes opposite sides of the road so impossible to drive past without having to go in at least one pothole if not both. Being on the National Cycle Route, a cyclist riding after not see the majority of potholes. In March '22 the road was closed 'for repairs', the workers had instructions to 'fill 70 potholes' when at the time there would be double that amount, so it would be reported as job completed...it meant that the road was still not in a suitable and safe condition. It is a single track road, with no footpaths. I suffer with osteoarthritis in all my joints and now have rheumatoid arthritis, which makes me feel vulnerable as walking is difficult. We seem to have Pothole repair on top of pothole repair with a big creator next to it. The worst areas are from Middle Rasen/Lissington Road along to Wood Farm and then from The Yews round to the telephone exchange. I live at Musgrave Farm with the road not in a good state outside our property. Quite near the start of Friesthorpe Road from the Middle Rasen road there is a dip across the road (with another one just past Sunnyside Cottage), which are impossible to avoid, the dip being lower towards the verge. These can be very damaging to precision implements used on our farm. PLEASE CHECK THE WHOLE ROAD, IT'S NOT IN A GOOD STATE & USED MUCH MORE NOW THAN IT EVER WAS. Lived here 50 years and only remember it being tarred/chipped once. With more properties now & staff from Mkt Rasen using road to get to work at Kisimul School at Friesthorpe it is used much more.
