I was driving along the Old Kent Road, about 5:00am today (Sep 15, 2022) and went over a large manhole cover which is missing. It was dark so it could not be seen. This has severely damaged my car resulting in causing a completely flat tyre immediately. I am very frustrated to see that this was reported a number of days ago and has not been repaired on a major road. This could cause a severe accident if it is not repaired immediately. Can you please ensure that it is fixed asap and advise how I can claim for the repairs now needed to my car.
