Reported via desktop in the Manhole cover broken/missing category anonymously at 12:13, Sunday 12 April 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9278884.

Manhole cover is in two parts and clanging loudly whenever a car goes over it. It is getting worse and with house windows open in warmer weather, it's getting more obtrusive and annoying. It may collapse at some point if not attended to soon. I have marked it with a cross using line marker for easy identification.

Updates

  • Almost all manhole covers have some form of identification on them, and it is likely that the manhole cover is owned by a utility company, who are legally responsible for maintaining it.

    This report has been passed to the Highway Officer, who will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days and if it is found to be the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Highways we will take the appropriate action. If, however, it is found to be the responsibility of the utility company we will report the issue to them, but please note we have no control regarding how long it will take to be fixed by the utility company.
