Fixed
Church Lane, Creeton, beside numbers 1 & 2 Brownlow Farm Cottages
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 480415.
There is a long stretch of uneven road surface in Church Lane from close to its junction with the B1176 (Glen Rd/Swinstead Rd), which has been like this for years. More potholes appear from time to time but the real problem is a shifting bank of gravel that was washed down off the B1176 by a flood soon after that road was resurfaced. It has been patched up by the Council at least twice but that hasn't fixed it, because when the gravel bank is wet and vehicles drive over it the gravel is redistributed, leaving the small tarmac patches standing proud. They soon wear down. It has now created a very uneven "sleeping policeman" (around 30cm high at the edges) that is surrounded by water except in very dry weather. Cars now drive across the adjoining green, which is being churned up.

Good Afternoon. Is there any further news on the Church Lane problem which has already been reported outside 1 and 2 Brownlow Cottages, Creeton and is due for work to be done? The latest update was back in December 2023 when action was scheduled. This problem affects all the residents and visitors (to the church for example) who use the lane. The mud has become compacted over the years and the recent floods since January 2024 have done nothing to help the situation. It is not a pothole problem but one of large quantities of mud and gravel being 'washed' over the lane everyone time the river floods. In the five years we have been living here the road has gone from a flat lane to the very uneven surface you see today. We would be very grateful if this problem could be sorted as soon as possible. Thank you.
