The path/area around the manholes has sunken and is now crumbling. The ironwork is significantly raised compared to the path level which is dangerous and poses a trip/slip/fall hazard. The ground and path have sunken which causes a deep puddle to form across the footpath. Any persons who are not aware of the extent of the uneven path could be at further risk of injury. During cold weather the puddle freezes over which compounds the problem.
