The manhole cover in road is loose and showing fast significant signs of damage as more and more vehicles drive over it. It’s quickly becoming worse and is causing my property to shake when HGVs/buses drive over it. This same manhole cover has had at least 3 lots of remedial works carried out on it since I’ve lived here in the past 7 years. It seems to be the same recurring problem.

    I’m afraid that photo you attach above is the incorrect site. Here are some new photos taken this morning of the damaged manhole cover in London Road, between the Spencer Road and Oaklands Road junctions.
