Rippingale Fen Crossroads

Reported via desktop in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category anonymously at 12:16, Sun 3 August 2025

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2851555.

We have reported this problem many times and even had a site visit. The hedge at Cauderbrook house is obscuring road visibility when turning out of Rippingale Fen towards Dowsby. When driving a tractor the front end of the vehicle is over the white lines and in the highway before you can see. There will be an accident here unless something is done quickly. The lady who visited took some photographs.

  • We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because our current resources are extremely limited we have to focus our enforcement on matters of a significant danger or nuisance to road users. We can, however, continue to monitor the site during our routine inspections and will review the situation. Thank you for reporting this matter.
