This damaged BT manhole on the grass verge corner of Gravel Hill and Broomfield Rd appears to have been poorly guarded since at least July 2025 as Google maps shows it with one plastic guard laying over it. There are currently two other additional guards presumably placed there since which have also been kicked over and are lying flat. These are difficult to see laying flat and a child could fall over them or even worse injure themselves by falling into the hole. Please raise this with BT(probably Openreach) to attend urgently and guard this correctly or even better, replace the lid. Thank you.
