1) Lowgate is an adopted highway maintainable at public expense 2) Lowgate is a hierarchy 4 highway, explanations of the hierarchy can be found in Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan 2024

3) The national speed limit applies by default where no lower limit is signed (60 mph on single carriageways, 70 mph on dual carriageways). No Order is required unless a system of street lighting is present. The only Speed Limit Order on Lowgate is the 30mph at the village. The extent of the 30mph limit can be viewed at StatMap TRO

5-6) This road is Hierarchy 4 and is not on the precautionary gritted network. It does not meet any of the Policies explicitly identify in the Winter Service Plan. The Winter Service Plan is freely available on line at the Lincolnshire County Council website Winter Service Plan 2025 Where it can be read and assessed. I must note that the B1165 Mayners Dyke is gritted by Cambridgeshire County Council and at the other end Church Way is salted by Lincolnshire County Council. Mayners Dyke is a B road and therefore is gritted and Church Way is gritted due to access to the nearby School at Tydd St Mary.
