Sunken manhole

Reported via mobile in the Road surface (NH) category by Ronald Button at 13:06, Friday 21 February 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7167498.

At the end of Gunton Church Lane, on the A47 there is a square manhole near the centre of the road which is sunken. This causes HGV's to make a lot of noise when going over it. The vehicles affected are skip lorries, arctics carrying offshore shipping containers and similar types of vehicle/loads. This most unnerving as they cause banging and clattering 24/7. I have requested a fix before the road was resurfaced. Also where the A47 was dug up for electrical work nearby, the replacement road surface is terrible, not sealed and is very bumpy, potholes waiting to happen.

This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.

    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.
