MORE than 400 cracked roads have been reported in Lincolnshire this year, with dry weather thought to be responsible for most of them.
The county has had one of the driest summers on record, with residents being urged to conserve water wherever possible.
Spalding Road near Crowland was closed for emergency repairs earlier this week after subsidence and cracking were discovered.
Lincolnshire County Council says that three other roads - A1031 in Saltfleetby, Bardney Causeway, and A52 Bridge End near Donington - have also required extensive resurfacing works.
