Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 453203.
I was made aware earlier today 28.03.23 (about 9.30am) by our builders of a loud sound of timber crunching. They spotted a branch on a tree opposite our drive (close to Watergate Cottage) moving closer to the ground. The tree is in one of Jamie Benton Jones fields and directly adjacent to the highway. The branch is dead and is hanging – I am not sure how it is being held up or how safe it is. I am sure some would call this dangerous for road users (car and on foot). It looks large enough to cause serious damage and or injury if it came down on a vehicle or an individual. I have advise Jamie Benton Jones of the issue sharing a images with him shortly after the incident. I coned off the side of the road but someone has moved the cones reducing the protected space. I feel at least there should be signs warning people of the risk and advise walkers to walk the other side of the road.
