Drain/manhole making noise

“There is an ill fitting drainage cover situated outside 26 Appleford Road, Sutton Courtenay, OX14 4NQ.
There was considerable works carried out a number of months ago to improve the drainage/lay new pipework along the road. The work was carried out very professionally and the work crew were always amenable to the local residents.
Unfortunately the drain/manhole cover in question has 'settled' and now makes an annoying noise every time a vehicle drives over it.
Appleford Road is used as a daily 'rat run' from around 0500hrs in the morning and agin in the evening and the noise is becoming quite irritating (especially for the more elderly residents living next door). One neighbour informed me that he was informed that the manhole cover had been fixed but I can confirm that as of this morning (Wed 18 Oct 17) the noise continues.

I haven't heard anything from the Council which is extremely disappointing. The noise is very loud and annoying to all nearby residents.

The noise continues. The only way to way to stop the noise is to park a car close to the manhole cover. This causes severe traffic congestion (but it is quiet!)
Please rectify ASAP
