Potential drain blockage

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 16:19, Tue 5 August 2025

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2851776.

Please could you tell me who is responsible for clearing up hay from the main roads. There are some trees which overhang the road and when the hay lorries go past a) they break the branches off and scatter them over the path and road making it dangerous and unsafe for both pedestrians and vehicles and b) the drains are blocked by the hay which fall off the lorries as they pass these trees. If it rains hard the water will pour down Dunholme Road but it won't be able to run off the road because of the blocked drains. Many thanks.

  • Thanks for getting in touch with us. In this case, we’re not responsible for this issue. Road sweeping is the responsibility of the district council in this case West Lindsey. You can report this to them at https://www.west-lindsey.gov.uk/ my-council/ contacts-facts-and-figures/ council-offices-and-contact-details/ contact-us/ Thank you for reporting this matter.
