Manhole cover outside No. 4 & 6 Brook Street
Reported via desktop in the Manhole cover broken/missing category anonymously at 20:16, Tuesday 3 March 2026
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9040461.
Highways came and uncovered and raised it November/December time, but it is now making a noise every time a car drives over, it seems to have sunk a little, its not a metallic noise to indicate loose metalwork but a double thud as the car tyre goes down a bit and then comes up again. You can see in the picture’s there are cracks around the edges.

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.
