Carlby Road, Braceborough PE9

Reported via desktop in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category by Rosemary Trollope-Bellew. Clerk BWpcouncil at 16:27, Wednesday 6 May 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2890700.

Hedge has been allowed to grow and is now extending out over the road, 1/3rd has been cut back towards the junction at Cocked Hat, Main Street Braceborough, 2/3 has been left. The overgrown hedge is pushing vehicles onto the other side of the road when heading towards Greatford and causing problems when 2 vehicles meet. Since spring it has become more of a problem

  • In this instance we don’t intend on taking immediate action. Because our current resources are extremely limited we have to focus our enforcement on matters of a significant danger or nuisance to road users. We can, however, continue to monitor the site during our routine inspections and will review the situation. Thank you for reporting this matter.

    State changed to: No further action
