There is an open drain in Hirst park near the football/sports court. My son wasn’t watching where he was going yesterday and fell down the drain, twisting his ankle and also hurting his shin bone. It’s ruined his trainers as the water was really dirty. The smell is still lingering today even though they’ve been through the wash twice.
