Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust protected verge
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 495849.
Hedgerow adjacent to Ropsley Rise Wood needs cutting back after the nesting season as it is overhanging the protected verge and is right up to/over the road. The protected verge is supposed to give wild plants a linked corridor between nature reserves. From Lincs Wildlife Trust - If verges develop into woodland, aside from causing a hazard to road users, this would represent a loss of much of our remaining wildflower grassland which is recognised as a vital resource for pollinators with its own suite of wildlife that adds biodiversity to our ecosystem.

The overhanging vegetation is growing from the ditch which lies between the verge and the woods. The ditch belongs to the owner of the adjoining woodland. Please refer to the land registry to obtain the land owner details. To find the owner of the land you could contact Land Registry here Thank you for reporting this matter.
