On Drove Road, Opposite spring close

Reported via desktop in the Road Surface category anonymously at 08:47, Saturday 8 March 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 420272.

This manhole cover has been broken for over 4 months. It has been reported previously and nothing has been done to fix it. The amount of traffic down drove road constantly driving over it means it is getting worse and worse and I'm concerned it will soon give way and make a substantial hole in the road which could be dangerous. The noise this makes from cars driving over it at night is unbearable and often wakes me (and other neighbours) up meaning my health is suffering due to lack of sleep.
