Fixed
There are four missing manhole covers on the south side of Old Dashwood Hill.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5749005.
I discovered one more today. They are telecommunications manholes and the one remaining cover has 'Post Office Telephones' embossed on it. They run from the top of the hill by the gate to the field to just opposite the footpath sign to Piddington at the bottom of the hill. The middle one has been fenced off by the Council but the others are still open. I have placed a redundant road cone against the one at the top of the hill. The last access was by a company called Trooli, but I suspect the covers have been stolen since then.

Almost all manhole covers have some form of identification on them, and it is likely that the manhole cover is owned by a utility company, who are legally responsible for maintaining it.
This report has been passed to the Highway Officer, who will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days and if it is found to be the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Highways we will take the appropriate action. If, however, it is found to be the responsibility of the utility company we will report the issue to them, but please note we have no control regarding how long it will take to be fixed by the utility company.
