Report a gully, drain or flooding issue
Utility companies are responsible for their respective apparatus which includes manhole covers in the road and pavement.
If you report a defective manhole cover to us, we will inform the utility company directly. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to be able to advise of the timescales in which defects are likely to be resolved, this is because there is no industry standard for us to quote and utility companies have their own programme of works. Defects which pose the most danger are aimed to be made safe within two hours.
