I work for OCC and we have contractors on site at the moment, they have walked further up the road to the corner near the lights down to Steventon and found this piece of sheet metal covering a manhole.

Its in a very dangerous state as its not even weighted down so has the potential to move into the carriageway and cause an incident.

It needs to be made safe asap.

Council ref: ENQ241000047
