Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2813831.
Good afternoon. I dont particularly wish to raise this matter as a complaint. However my Wife and I could not believe to be honest the lack of effort or thought carried out, by the Gentleman who arrived In Willoughby Avenue Market Deeping last week on a 4 wheel "buggy" supposedly to spray the extensive amount of weeds In the Cul de Sac. His total visit, I would suggest lasted perhaps 2 minutes for the whole of the Avenue, perhaps 40 seconds In the area to the front of our Home. He was so rapid In His driving that there Is no way the weed killer would have "hit" the weeds to have any effect. In fact He was so "keen " to finish (being a Friday presumably) He was actually hitting the kerb In His rush to finish the (so called ) "job". Absolutely ridiculous to be honest. May I suggest a return visit to carry out a "proper job" please? We do have ring door bell footage If required. Thank you. Philip Oldfield (Mr) (number 13 )

We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report. The weed treatment is delivered by controlled droplet application and is only effective on visible weeds, therefore we do not blanket treat but specifically target the treatment to areas with weeds present. We allow between 14-21 days for the weed treatment to show signs of weed die-back, so please let us know if you think the treatment has not been effective at the end of that period and we will investigate the matter for you. Thank you for reporting this matter.
