Promenade drain covers broken

Reported via iOS in the Damaged Drains category anonymously at 11:59, Sat 21 June 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7742715.

Broken ironwork in the drains on the promenade, in front of Covent Garden. There’s two locations where it’s broken. I know they’re not proper drains but a child/animal could hurt themselves on them.
