I telephone your offices again on the 2nd February 2021 - reference 251/8853. It was confirmed that the job had been handed over to Thames Water on the 26th January 2021. THE CONDITION OF THE LOOSE MANHOLE COVER AND THE AREA AROUND IT IS VERY POOR. I have to say it is waiting for an accident to happen. Please address this problem ASAP.

The problem was resolved with tarmac being placed on top of the manhole cover, but when i reviewed it yesterday the tarmac had come away from - say a quarter of the area, so it is likely that the remaining tarmac will also come off because of the wear and tear of the traffic.

Yesterday 29th April 2021 i viewed the manhole cover that had again been covered in Tarmac - better job this time, but i noticed that there are four dents in the tarmac maybe due to wear & tear, but at present it is ok.

At the present time the tarmac on top of the manhole cover is holding, but you can see it is beginning to drop because of volume of traffic. It is just a matter of time before the tarmac will disappear from parts of the manhole cover top. I could not put a time on that, so maybe ask me again in two weeks time.
