Total loss of verge and risk to road users.

Reported via iOS in the Other road surface issue category anonymously at 18:02, Monday 23 February 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2880456.

The owner of Glebe farm has removed all hedge and verge material, and has now placed wooden pegs, over one metre tall along the edge of the tarmac. It has caused damage to the edge of the road and there is standing water where there didn’t used to be. Can anyone claim the verge outside their property as their own?
