Photo of this reportzoom Photo of this reportzoom The manhole cover is located outside Boots Opticians 46 Tooting High Street, London, SW17 0RG. There are 2 covers, the one causing the problem (again) is the one nearest the middle of the road. This will be either the 2nd or third time this has happened in recent times. It is causing a noise nuisance as it is right out side my bedroom window plus there are other bedrooms that face onto the High Street on either side of the road. Please fix this and can you try and make sure that it stays fixed this time plesae as it is getting tiresome reporting this yet again. Thank you.

  • It is now 7 months since I first contacted you about the rocking drain cover outside my bedroom window (FMS5148381) which was slated as 'fixed' but was not even looked at! SInce then, I have contacted you by phone about 4 times, was given a new Reference No: FMS5545165 back in Fabruary 2024 and still it has not been fixed. This constant noise has affected my ability to sleep and is now unbearable! I am slowly losing my mind! This cannot continue any more. If this is not fixed URGENTLY, I will be taking this matter further. My Granddaughter tried to stay overnight recently but had to go home in the early hours of the morning because of the constant 'banging and rattling' of the drain cover. That was the last straw! No more delays and promises! Fix this now before I completely lose it! Thank you.
