Witham bank west, Boston

Reported via desktop in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category anonymously at 13:35, Friday 19 June 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2895753.

The river bank is all really over grown all the way down the trees are blocking the street lights. I am only 5 foot and I have to duck for branches I don’t know how tall people manage. It hasn’t been trimmed back for at least 3 years they used to do it once a year. a lot of people use the river bank as it’s the quickest way into town and back and it’s my way to work and back. Please can you get it cut back it was a nice sunny day when I took the pictures but you can’t tell down the river bank.
