By the Footpath on the south side of the road

Reported via desktop in the Standing water covering more than half the road category anonymously at 10:31, Tue 23 December 2025

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2866833.

There is a gully running along the South side of Irnham Road that passes under a footbridge into the field on the South side of the road. Just over the style in the field is a huge sinkhole and a very wide broken pipe about 3 ft down. Water is running off the field, filling this hole and then spilling into the gully, which is in turn overflowing into the road. This has been going on for many years, as soon as it rains. I don't know if there is a pipe that goes from the gully into the main drains but if so, under the small bridge, this must be blocked.

    Water is pouring out of the hole in the ground, where the broken pipe is, in the field, and the pipe taking the water to the sewer pipe, under the red brick is blocked so all water is directed down the road
