Verge - Outside Stonecroft, South side of Avenue Road,

Reported via desktop in the Footpath / pavement problem category anonymously at 17:48, Friday 3 May 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5930716.

There is a manhole cover in the verge which is looked after by Anglian Water. They attended today because I had reported the concrete surround to the manhole cover was broken in several places - there is a school across the road so the area is subject to high footfall.The engineer promised that their team would repair the surround probably within the next two weeks. However he did also point out that the verge surrounding the cover was very uneven and very damp even allowing for the recent weather and he thought that was contributing to the issue - a similar occurrence took place about two years ago. I wondered whether the council could do anything about the uneven and soggy ground?
