Verge outside 21 Blind Lane, Coleby, Lincoln LN5 0AL

Reported via mobile in the Tree roots raising footpath category anonymously at 12:26, Fri 1 March 2024

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 496898.

Walnut tree on highways verge is very close to our garden stone wall and the roots are undermining the wall causing large cracks. The wall collapsed about 5 years ago and I had it rebuilt but over the last few months two large cracks have appeared in the wall and I fear the wall will collapse again.
