Urgent- Missing manhole cover by balancing pond
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9379772.
Slightly west of the point marked on the map (at W3W- ///called.winter.flips) there’s a manhole cover missing next to the balancing pond and the brook. The Balfour Beatty branded barriers that were previously around the missing cover are now in the brook.
This is a hazard as there’s currently a large exposed hole in the grass.
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.
