Trees leaning precariously over pavement/road after storms
Reported via desktop in the Hanging tree or branch category by Adam Brookes at 09:14, Thursday 20 March 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2838936.
Several trees in the verge alongside Towngate East have been leaning rather precariously towards the pavement/road after recent storms.
Travelling east, as per the photos, these are both immediately before and after the 40 mph speed limit sign.
These pose a hazard to road users as they appear they may fall at some point.
