Hi there.

We attended this job after your previous email came through. Upon investigation we determined that no work had occurred on these manhole covers in the last 12 months and there was no leaks/faults with the manholes that would have caused the bitumen to deteriorate.

This means that the road repair is council responsibility. We advised Holdfast council accordingly.

Hello

No action has been made to remove this hazard (broken bitumen and pothole around sevice covers - Photo attached).

Please advise when action will be taken to remove the hazards (2 locations either side of roundabout).

Please also confirm who is liable in the event of an injury or accident...

Thanks and regards

Hi there

Thank you for your email.

Manhole covers can't be moved, however, I have corresponded with our Operations Centre and they will request a crew reinstate the surrounding broken bitumen and make sure it is at street level.

Hello

Please remove the hazard caused by the service cover on the corner of Cudmore and Partridge street, Glenelg. There are two locations on opposite sides of the roundabout. The attached photo only shows one of the two hazards.

These hazards were reported to Holdfast council 2 years ago but no action has been taken to remove the hazard.

These service covers are a hazard to cyclists. Impact may cause injury or a fall. Avoiding the hazard may cause collision with passing vehicles not expecting the bicycle to change direction.

Please also note that this is a bikeway AND is located next to a secondary school.
