This manhole cover has recently had tarmac laid over it, not sure why, but the effect is that now when traffic passes over it, it rocks back and forth making a dreadful racket. All traffic hits it, it's right in the mid line of the carriageway. It's unbearably noisy for residents.

  • 18/06/2022 The manhole cover has been replaced but this has not fixed the problem. The cover is rocking on its frame every time a vehicle goes over it, creating an unacceptable noise nuisance with every passing vehicle 24 hours a day. The faulty cover is right in the middle of the carriageway and every vehicle passes over it. Please urgently review and return to solve the noise issue.
