DANGEROUS SITUATION, 600mm deep hole in verge beside the road.

Between Tile Farm and the Anglian Water building in Lady Drove, - on the left, heading from Downham Market (A1122 junction) toward Barroway Drove

Today, 29 08 24, the verges of this road were cut by (I assume) a contractor to NCC Highways.

In the process of this work a concrete service chamber (Manhole), in the verge and just next to the road itself, has been severely damaged. The cover has been broken and dislodged from its surround, exposing the chamber below, and a hole which is 600mm deep and contains wiring.

The damaged cover is partly obscured by the cuttings left in the process and is a significant hazard to all road users, particularly pedestrians/dog walkers, who have no pavement and must move on to the verge to avoid vehicles.

Please fence off this hole until such time as it can be properly repaired.
