Reported via desktop in the Obstruction category anonymously at 20:55, Monday 16 March 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2884842.

I reported this obstruction a few years ago now, and on the face of it, nothing has been done to remove this totally unnecessary obstacle, that has been installed by the person who owns the land next to the public footpath. I'm led to believe by people, that have lived in Alford all their lives, that this person, does not have the right to install these obstacles. I mean there is a gate there, that I dare say the council installed, why on earth does he see the need to install even more obstacles. It makes no sense whatsoever. Coordinates are as follows, 53.256910, 0.160483. Since reporting this to you, we now have a situation that if you are old or suffer from mobility problems, with the extra scaffolding this place now has, it would be very difficult for someone to navigate this latest obstacle. Also, cameras have been installed, with no signage to inform people, something that I thought was illegal to do. Unfortunately because your reporting page only allows 3 pictures to be uploaded, the wife will be forwarding the 3 pictures to you, showing the location of the said camera's.
