Previously repprted 2 times after 28days automaticly job is complete on the website without it actually being done. I feel this needs to be URGENTLY fixed. A manhole cover and a grate like manhole where water is drained in the centre of the west heading side of the Highway has become loose and every time a car’s tyre goes over it, it makes a significant noise to an extent of constant hammering noise . This is affecting the quality of life for residents who live within 50 metres of the site we cannot sleep due to this noise nor can we open the window as it is heard even when windows closed. If the manhole cover becomes looser, this could possibly contribute to a road accident and so yes, in my opinion, it is a health and safety hazard. Kind regards, Abul Nasar

    One of the man hole has been fixed but the grated one is still a issue as it does not sit flush against the road and meakes noise when cars pass by. Furthermore the standing water on rainy days is another issue.
