On the path opposite the church of the straight stretch of middle gate road

Reported via Android in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category anonymously at 20:56, Wed 1 May 2024

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2805217.

The hedge is growing into the path to the stage where in most places you'd struggle to get a wheelchair on it without having to go onto the road or push someone through the bushes. It needs trimming right back and the path needs cleaning to remove the mud/grass that's covering half of it. At least 50% of the path is covered by overgrowth and the hedge.

  • My 9 year old daughter and I could not walk down this path safely. We both ended up on the road as there is no room at all!

  • A quick note to let you know that we’re taking enforcement action. This type of action can take a long time to complete so whilst it might not look like we’re working on the issue, we’re being busy behind the scenes. Thanks for your patience. As this progresses, we’ll update you when we can.

  • I know this is on an enforcement notice and you're doing what you can buy the path is totally cut off for use now. Covered in nettles too. No wheelchair access and no room for pedestrians either. Hedge and weeds growing rapidly by the day.

  • Only half a job has been done here. The hedge has been trimmed but the path is still overgrown and covered in nettles/weeds. The path needs scraping to uncover the full width.
