The drain/manhole has sunk therefore when vehicles drive over makes a large amount of noise, in needs to be raised so that it is line with the road surface and make a shuddering noise. Especially when GGVs go over it. The Noise wakes me up and is unbearable

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The sunken manhole has been getting more and more sunken this winter. It needs to be raised, otherwise the noise made when vehicles drive over it is becoming louder and louder. It is really disturbing my peace and I suspect my neighbours on both sides of the road. The sunken manhole is outside my property between my property and the Plymouth Brethren next door

    As you can see the manhole is sunken. The road is constantly used by HGV which make a significant noise when they drive over the “bump” in the road
