End of Vicarage Road next to utility cupboard
Reported via mobile in the Manhole cover broken/missing category anonymously at 16:03, Friday 29 November 2024
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6801295.
I can see that there are currently 3 other reports dating back as far as June. I am assuming that after such a long period, these have been closed without action. I don't think the council fully understand how dangerous this is to small children. It is a matter of time before a child stands on this rotten piece of wood and a sustains serious injury.

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.
