Broken manhole cover - DANGEROUS!
Reported via desktop in the Manhole & drain cover damage category anonymously at 18:19, Thu 23 June 2022
Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 3618956.
This had been a problem for a number of months but it has become significantly worse in the last couple of weeks. The edge of the manhole cover has crumbled away leaving the manhole casing dislodged (See pictures)
Unfortunately I didn't get a picture but today I witnessed a cyclist fall as his wheel collided with the raised edge of the manhole. She was luckly unharmed but had there been a stream of traffic the incident would have been much worse.
UI have aso see cars and scooters swerve towards the pavement to avoid the grate.
This has been reported before and there is an open incident from March with no action taken and the request removed. Something must be done about this urgently before there is a fatality. Please take these reports seriously
