Action scheduled
North of Dunsby House, on the west side of the road
Reported via desktop in the Standing water covering less than half the road category anonymously at 09:16, Fri 19 December 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2866323.
The drainage ditch is totally blocked leading to water travelling down the hill via the gulley at the side of the road and pooling further toward Sleaford. I do not know who owns the land so cannot contact the farmer directly. The blockage is outside of the boundary of Dunsby House. This has been ongoing for around 18months.

Thanks for letting us know about the issue. In this case the fault does not fall within Lincolnshire County Council Highways’ responsibility. The ditch is the responsibility of the adjacent landowner. To find the owner of the land you could contact Land Registry here Thank you for reporting this matter.
