Further to my report 2806960 - you referrred me to South Holland District Council - after numerous emails requesting a response, I received this:
Dear John Clark
Re: file reference FC3349
Thank you for your email of the 2nd of October.
We have made further enquiries into the issues you are having.
Mud on road being splashed on house by speeding tractors – Report to Traffic Calming LCC Highways Mud on road – Report to LCC Highways Traffic driving on footpath – Report to LCC Highways Drainage to roadways – Report to LCC Highways The mud on the road needs to be reported to Lincolnshire County Council Highways as is the responsibility of the Farmers/Construction companies to clear up after themselves and ensuring the road is safe for other road users. It would also stop your property getting sprayed unnecessarily as a result.
We do have a sweeper that cover the whole of South Holland and sweeps throughout on a regular basis. If the road needs some extra attention, you can make a request via the South Holland District Council website for an unscheduled sweep. They will only sweep on kerbed roads.

So, you say it's their responsibility and they say it's yours. I am now disabled following a failed knee replacement and need this dealing with now. I first lodged this complaint in June - please DO NOT refer it or me back to South Holland. John Clark

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.

Just to let you know this issue has turned out to be more complicated than we first thought. We need to take this on for more investigation. We will let you know the situation as soon as we can. Thanks for bearing with us.

Hi - can you please provide an update of what actions are being taken. This has been reported since June and it appears nothing has been done. Since then I have had the area professionally cleaned twice and within 24 hours it is just as filthy as before. I have bought new cones and immediately, the farm vehicle drivers seem to think it’s a game and run them over. This has to stop. I have a 2 year old grandson who visits and it is just highly dangerous as the farm vehicles continue to thunder by in flagrant abuse of the law and all principles of safety. There needs to be a traffic calming system and a raised kerb before someone is killed! Thank you.

You have been ‘investigating’ for over a month - please provide an update on your ACTIONS without further delay. Thanks.

Council ref: 2821490 - first reported in June - said to be investigating on 14th November - now 20th December - what is happening? Update please before reporting to MP. Thanks

PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE! thanks

We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because we have inspected the issues reported as part of a recent ward tour undertaken along with the ward Cllr. No issues were observed with either standing water or mud on the highway, no action taken. Thank you for reporting this matter.

Thanks for your reply. The reason there is not a current issues is that I have paid for professional cleaning 3 times as the state of the road was intollerable - I have now spent almost £1,000 having it cleaned. Your job is SURELY to prevent this from happening constantly? You can see the evidence in pictures. I am paying rates AND private contractors - and it is not sustainable. Please outline what actions you are intending to take in light iof this additonal infgormation. Thanks
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
