Further Old Gate opposite Percheron Lodge - large cut tree branch, potential for falling onto carriageway
Reported via desktop in the Fallen tree or branch category anonymously at 09:12, Thu 20 April 2023
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 456327.
A large tree branch appears to have been cut from a large tree but not cleared away. It has moved in recent winds and I feel it is a danger to motorists and pedestrians. It is likely to be extremely heavy and I fear it would kill someone should it fall while they are passing.

I have walked down to the reported site and the issue still remains. It is a large cut branch that appears to be trapped in the tree. The attached photos show it clearly. If the opinion of the Council is that this hanging branch doesn’t pose a risk then please could that be stated, as “nothing was found” doesn’t really close this issue satisfactorily and I remain concerned over the risk of injury to passers by. Thank you.

The branch that the Council Workers were unable to find was blown down onto the carriageway by recent string winds and fortunately moved to a safe place by a resident before anyone could run into it.
