Perimeter of St Mary's Church ruins

Reported via desktop in the Dying or diseased tree category anonymously at 12:27, Saturday 4 October 2025

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2857614.

Some very large trees that have been unattended for a very long time. Recently, large branches blown off in wind. This is not the first time it's happened in the last couple of years.

A few very large trees ought to be managed, and dead wood removed.

I think there is a danger of a tree coming down and hitting houses opposite, as well as blocking the road.

  • What about the picture of the branch blown down in the wind a few days ago? That was dangerous.

    Can you confirm that this area is on the council radar for future maintenance?
