Dangerous sunken manhole cover

Reported via desktop in the Potholes category anonymously at 16:11, Friday 29 August 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8092377.

I had to keep in because of on coming traffic when I hit a drain which was very deep. Fortunately it did not damage my car but it was a resounding thump as my car went through it. It is about 100 yards south of the crossroads by Swarland school.
