Edward Street Louth
Reported via mobile in the Fallen tree or branch category anonymously at 16:35, Monday 16 February 2026
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2878578.
A branch has come off a tree and had fallen through the rear windscreen of a parked car. I was unable to contact the police via 101 to report it. As I walked past later, the branch had been removed and put on the bank on the opposite side of the road. I am concerned that other branches could fall. The tree is on a plot which is for sale.
