Investigating
There is a Thames Water valve cover that rocks when a vehicle goes over it and the noise transmitted is very loud. This anomaly was created when the highway was resurfaced by OCC Contractors late 2025. The frame for cover and frame requires removing and rebedding. It wakes me upbwgen a number of cars go over it at tfe same time. It sounds like a train!
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
The frame and cover require are set below the level of the highway which has loosened the cover and now it rocks.
Council ref: ENQ261095965

This problem remains. It causes noise disturbance every night as buses and delivery vehicles hit the metal cover
