Opposite the pub on Tom Lane

Reported via desktop in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category anonymously at 09:53, Monday 8 June 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2894153.

The Hedges are so over grown that larger vehicles cannot pass side my side, it's dangerous and near the school and a pub!

In addition the hedge on the pub side of the road is also overgrown meaning the the footpath is not accessible, I see people with push chairs having to walk on road!!

  • Has anyone actually inspected what has been done here? The width of the path while improved is still very limited and if people have to pass they must step on the road. A major risk at school run times with increased traffic both on the road and the footpath.

    Additionally the hedges opposite again while being trimmed at the bottom still over hang the road meaning that larger vehicles cannot pass on there side of the road.

    These issues combined are going to get someone seriously hurt! Heaven forbid it’s a child.
