Manhole cover loose - loud bangs with every passing car

Reported via desktop in the Manhole cover broken/missing category anonymously at 21:01, Wednesday 4 March 2026

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9047965.

Hello, the manhole cover is loose (again). Every car that and lorry that drives over this manhole cover creates a very large bang which is audible inside all houses in the vicinity and is creating a constant disturbance. Please fix as soon as possible. Thank you

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.
