Very Noisy Manhole Cover

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 23:08, Friday 16 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8706153.

Previously reported on 23/12/2025, but no action has been taken. We have noticed that there are actually 2 manhole covers close to each other and they both have the same problem. Action needs to be taken as the noise is extremely intrusive and I would be concerned about a fatigue failure of the covers given the volume of the noise and the amount of traffic that runs over them.

Updates

  • 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.

    Kind regards National Highways
