Open/flipped up manhole cover. Dangerous.

Reported via desktop in the Manhole category anonymously at 11:01, Tuesday 13 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The manhole appears to have been flipped/opened, so that metal plate is sitting at a right angle to the road, half in-half out of the manhole, creating a hole in the ground that a car might drive into/someone fall into and also a hazard that someone might drive into (the metal cover) and have an accident. This could be very dangerous.

Council ref: ENQ261072633
