COMMON LAND at the end of Granta Crescent
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2810224.
I reported the problem some weeks ago and was told the land is not council land. When we bought our house (18 Belton Grove) we were told that strip was common land. It is not part of any property on Granta Crescent. The hawthorn trees are covered in ivy and are dying in parts. They are also very tall and require cutting.

Thanks for getting in touch with us. In this case, we’re not responsible for this issue as common land is managed by the District Council. You can report this to South Kesteven District Council at http://www.southkesteven.gov.uk/ index.aspx?articleid=8595 . Thank you for reporting this matter.

Thank you for your update these trees are not the responsibility of LCC and we would not take action as they are not causing any safety issues to the carriageway or footway that we are responsible for. As a property owner you can cut back any branches etc that encroach on to your property and you could contact the land registry to ascertain the owners details of the land. https://www.gov.uk/ government/ organisations/ land-registry.
Thank you for reporting this matter.
