On the public footpath

Reported via mobile in the Obstruction category anonymously at 19:34, Monday 3 August 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2900560.

The fence between the public footpath and the A17 has fallen down and there is a large gap exposing the A17. This footpath is popular with dog walkers and a dog could run onto the main road and cause an accident. The orange barriers have been placed there further along as per the photo but offers little protection for pedestrians from very fast moving vehicles.. It has been like this for years. Please can it be repaired. Thank you. I have also shown the footpath gate so you can see where it is located. Thank you.

  • We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because it is a discretionary matter for the landowner whether they wish to fence their land in this location. Lincolnshire County Council has no responsibility for this fence feature. Thank you for reporting this matter.
