  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue. If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

  • Anyone walking near this - don't stand on it. The yellow cover has moved (people parking on it) and doesn't look at all safe. There's a big hole underneath.

  • Someone turned up with traffic lights on Wednesday, but the fix team never arrived so nothing done. Again -do not walk over this, it isn't safe.

  • Jan 7 evening - Openreach have visited, recognise it is dangerously slippery and have raised an urgent job for a proper fix, hopefully this week.

    No job had been raised so it had been forgotten or closed in error.

  • Jan 9 - cover moved (pavement parking?) exposing the hole which is just filled with builders bags. Let's hope people look where they are going...
