The manhole cover at PL12 5HJ eastbound on a38. At the beginning of the pavement curve turn in to the bus stop. You have said you coordinate jobs to minimise road closures yet the Rd has been closed twice directly by the manhole cover and nothing has been done still. The noise is a real irritation. Like two gunshots when a vehicle passes over it. It's been like it for more than three months now. Please do something about it.

This is getting louder and looser. It's difficult to sleep at night because of the noise. This has been going for three months or more. Please attend to it.

This cover is extremely loose now. It makes a horrible noise every time a car or lorry passes. It's been this way for months. Please do something. A number of houses are affected by the constant racket it makes.
