Loose Man Hole cover on road

Reported via desktop in the Manhole Cover - Damaged (rocking or noisy) category anonymously at 12:32, Thursday 16 September 2021

Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS3005424.

Whenever a road drives down the road. Both the tyres hit the man hole cover and make a double bang noise. It is very repetitive, happens day and night and it’s making it difficult to get any sleep. I only moved into the flat today and it’s already beyond jarring.

South towards dock Street

Loccation of Sugar House, 99 Leman St, London E1 8GH

    It is the closest manhole cover to the zebra crossing on the street.

    The noises must happen hundreds of times a day and night.
