Collapsed / Subsided Manhole Cover
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5858580.
Reporting this serious and dangerous road surface defect once again as I have just hit it this this morning travelling into Daventry as it was impossible to swerve to avoid it due to a vehicle turning into Weedon ahead of me.
The collapsed manhole cover has caused two cracks to my rear passenger alloy which will cost £100inc VAT have repaired.
I will now be submitting a claim against national highways for the cost of the repair for this damage as this defect has been reported to them for over a month with no action having been taken to repair the defect and make the road safe to use again.
I can see that this collapsed / subsided manhole cover which has led to very deep dangerous dip / drop in the road has been reported over a month ago with no inspection yet carried out.
