Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7495560.

Massive holes in a broken manhole cover on pavement. Someone fortunately put a manhole warning over it , as its seriously dangerous if someone put their foot through it they'd break their leg. Or worse. Seriously dangerous for the elderly,, kids, disabled, hard of vision

It's been like this for nearly 3 weeks. A report seems to have been mafe but nothing has been done .

Needs attention ASAP. Seriously dangerous broken manhole cover with holes, wires, on a busy pavement

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.
