Broken drain cover

Reported anonymously at 07:27, Mon 14 October 2013

Sent to Essex County Council and Rochford District Council 3 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 394210.

There is a small broken drain cover outside of my house 34 Bardfield Way. We have been in contact with the council since February concerning this. Various people have been out to view the cover. We have been given dates that it was supposed to be mended and not been done, someone even came to mend it on 26th Sept but brought the wrong size cover. They promised it was going to be done within the next week. But to date it still has not been done. It is a danger to children.

  • We reported this problem to the council in February 2013. We had various people come out and look at the drain cover. On more than one occassion. Various dates given to us stating that the cover would be mended on a particular date. But it was not mended. Then I saw some men come to mend the cover about 5 weeks ago but they had the wrong size! Eventually it did get done. But why do they not have one particular person to come out and inspect the cover and measure what size is needed? Why do they have such trouble changing just one drain cover? It's not hard.
