Manhole cover and frame loose

Reported via desktop in the Manhole cover broken/missing category anonymously at 15:31, Fri 22 November 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6772157.

Manhole cover and frame are loose and banging about when vehicles cross it. This is a serious accident waiting to happen. A loose manhole permanently injured me, on a motorcycle, years ago. Please get this fixed URGENTLY.

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.
