Manhole rocking and make loud noise
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6315547.
Every time cars drive over the manhole outside our house, it makes a loud noise. This was mended not long ago (winter) and has gotten bad since the hot weather - it looks like the asphalt around it has dropped. Not surprising as the road is used by commercial transport and agriculture vehicles as well as thousands of cars each day. This is an issue for us and neighbours as our bedrooms is face the road and is disrupting sleep. The fire hydrant directly opposite on the other carriageway is also getting worse too (pls use hydrant to pinpoint the manhole cover) - with thanks.
Updates
-
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.
