Louth Road dootpath
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2810132.
Weeds and soil are covering over half the footpath making it hard to walk on. The road is a busy A road. Farmer has not been to the field next to the road to cut it for months so is very overgrown and fence and soil is being pushed over onto path hence the obstruction

Great news, we’ve had a look at the issue and we have now passed to our Highways Officers for the team to assess what can be done to resolve the matter. We’ll let you know when the assessment has taken place.

We have run into a small snag with our investigation and asked the reporter to update this report with some more detail. Once this is received we will progress our investigation.

Farmer was in the field and cut the grass, cut some of the grass that was over the footpath and repaired one fence post. Grass is still long around field edge but doesn’t affect the footpath as much. The soil is still on footpath so grass will quickly grow again

Has the snag been rectified and can you advise when the footpath will be cleared and bushes trimmed 🤔

This continues to be a serious issue along the A157. Not just this section, but the entire length of the footpath between East Barkwith and West Barkwith. Foliage is a physical barrier to using the path in multiple places.

This situation continues to worsen by the day. No obvious action has been taken. Undergrowth and overgrowth continues to cause difficulties walking this path between West Barkwith and East Barkwithand. Please could you send an inspector to investigate. To properly understand the difficulty the inspector needs to walk along the whole path not just drive down the adjacent road. Elderly people are being encouraged to walk more for their health and to reduce car use but the state of this path completely discourages it's use by anyone other than the fittest individuals. If any remedial work whatsoever to improve this pathway has been done in the last 3 months it's very hard to discern. Please advise what improvement plan is proposed.
