Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to report an issue with a loose manhole cover located on the road at BS6 7TH area.

Whenever vehicles pass over the manhole cover, it produces a loud metallic clanking noise due to it not being properly secured. This occurs frequently throughout the day and night, but the noise is particularly disruptive during the night-time when background noise levels are lower. The sound is clearly audible inside my home and has been causing ongoing disturbance and loss of sleep.

I understand that road and drainage infrastructure requires regular maintenance, and I would be very grateful if this matter could be inspected and resolved as soon as possible, for example by securing or refitting the manhole cover to prevent further noise.

Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.

Yours faithfully, Ian
