Heavily corded drain cover

Reported via mobile in the Broken / Missing category anonymously at 05:48, Thursday 11 September 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8149917.

The drain covers in the photo are heavily corroded and are quite weak. The both present a damage if anyone was to stand on them they could easily give way.

I would recommend these are changed out for new covers to protect the public.
