Loose Raised Drain Cover - Trip Hazard
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2846782.
This cover opposite 37 Meres Way is raised, loose and wobbly and a trip hazard. Doubtless the responsibility of the contractor responsible for maintaining this estate, but as a non resident I have no idea who this is or who to contact. Please advise.

Thanks for getting in touch with us. The area in which the cover is loose is not publicly maintainable by Lincolnshire County Council. You may wish to contact the Developer to obtain the landownership details. Thank you for reporting this matter.

Interesting... so having pushed it back to me I've just called Ashwood Homes, who tell me all the roads have been adopted by the local authority and it's not their responsibility either.

You really couldn't make this up - how are arrangements like this allowed? I've just had a follow-up call from Ashwood who tell me the block paved area is owned by the houses that border it (again not their responsibility) and that technically walking outside the footpath alongside it is trespassing! Surely if there is a need for a fix, some kind of enforcement notice can be served?

We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because the main carriageway and footways have been adopted by LCC but only up to the blocked paved sections. Thank you for reporting this matter.
