Thanks for letting us know about the issue. Lincolnshire County Council did recently carry out works on the carriageway entrance to lift the surface, however we cannot carry out any work to the tree roots. As this is a protected tree an application to West Lindsey District Council to request any root pruning will need to be made by the owner of the tree. To find the owner you could contact Land Registry at https://www.gov.uk/ government/ organisations/ land-registry Thank you for reporting this matter.
