The manhole cover here is damaged. It is moving and banging when driven over. I already reported this problem more than a month ago. The status of my report was updated to 'fixed' but nothing was actually done.

If you look through the history you will see that this same problem has been reported dozens of times. When anyone bothers to attempt to fix it at all, they just tarmac over the manhole. After a couple of weeks, the tarmac deteriorates and the problem returns. Please find a more permanent solutions to this issue.

  • I don’t know how to report this, but can you advise cyclists that is dangerous to cycle when it’s cold, like now is -2 degrees in London and a layer of thin ice made a cyclist fall on her own in the middle of the road. If there was a bus overtaking her (as very likely there would be 30 seconds later) I don’t know what would’ve happened.
