Dangerous crossing for children

Reported via mobile in the Damaged/missing pedestrian guardrail category anonymously at 06:51, Thursday 12 February 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2877186.

This section of Hawthorn Road was recently reduced to 30mph from 40mph after some local residents liaised with LCC. This is great, HOWEVER, drivers are still not travelling at 30mph. A child travelling home from school on a bike was knocked off inbetween the cemetery and the village hall a couple of weeks ago due to inconsiderate drivers. Is it going to take a child to be killed before something is done to help children/families safely cross the road and be safe on the narrow pavement? Can some traffic calming measure like on Wolsey Way be installed along this section of road please? Or a pedestrian crossing? It is still so dangerous. A pedestrian barrier is probably needed along the narrowest section of path which is between the cemetery and Kennel Lane. I really hope something is done before someone is killed.
