This drain appears to be falling into the ground. Is this a sinkhole? Whatever it is, it is dangerous and needs looking at urgently.

Is the location on this report correct? I saw it described as "outside Vincent House", which would be on Fieldside somewhere around what2words ///confusion.globe.suffice -- I have no direct evidence either way, just wanted to add a note before I flag it up with the highways team

Vincent's House is on High Street, not Fieldside (which it only backs onto). If you look at the attached map, it is the unmarked property between Footbridge Cottage and May Tree Cottage, opposite Pear Tree Cottage
I hope this helps

Ah cool thanks for the clarification. I was going on the FixMyStreet map, which seems to have the location wrong. I just didn't want somebody to come out to look for the issue and not be able to find it!
