Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2833538.
Watercourse (Monk's Drain) has recently eroded and almost undercut Poolham Lane, leaving only about 1 metre of grass verge, which is overhanging a 2 to 2.5 metre drop. (Inserting moorland posts - as a warning to traffic - would probably cause collapse of the bank). I included this under 'safety barriers' as there isn't one but is probably needed. I assume 6th January rainfall did the damage. Might be IDB drain.

Good Afternoon,
Although the bank has slipped, this is a matter for LCC Highways, as it has not affected the flow of water through the Beck and the Board do not own the land the watercourse flows through. Therefore, the Board will not take action to rectify the slip as it is outside the Board's remit to maintain highway stability.
