Dangerously loose and noisy drain cover
Reported via mobile in the Loose/rattling cover/ironwork category anonymously at 15:10, Thursday 10 October 2024
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6576176.
The drain cover is on the Cirencester Road, opposite Spirax Sarco's HQ and has been in this state for at least a month. It was repaired twice before, most recently only about 3 months ago. Like before, after 2-3 months the tarmac is broken up by constant traffic and chucks of tarmac and concrete get hurled into the air. It needs a different solution; maybe don't have a drain there (as there have since been 2 added just yards away) or maybe a smaller drain cover that does not stick out from the curb so much and therefore will not get as much traffic run over it.
