Reported via desktop in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category by RAFAL BALIKOWSKI at 14:52, Fri 21 July 2023

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 465740.

Hi, at the location trees projecting about 2 m above the street, it's safety issue, lack of visibility, Van can not go around without scratching its bodywork as branches on 1.5 meter and higher and over 2 meters projecting. Please cut/trim as these have head not been trimmed for years by the look of them. Even lamp posts/street lights are overgrown by trees and lit during a day time wasting energy-will put a separate report about it. Happy to privide more details/photos-if required. Thank you.

  • Thanks for letting us know about the issue. In this case the fault is not on one of the roads we look after. The overgrown trees are not within an area owned or maintained by Lincolnshire County Council, the land must either belong to Boston Borough Council or a management company. You can contact Boston Borough Council at https://www.boston.gov.uk/ article/ 20674/ Contacting-the-Council Thank you for reporting this matter.
