Drain cover not in place

Reported via mobile in the Damaged Drains category anonymously at 23:05, Saturday 20 September 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8192279.

The drain / inspection cover in the grass area by the side of Masonic hall has fallen in. It’s very dark and people walk their with their dogs so is a health and safety risk. It’s hard to see so it’s a matter of time before someone falls in.
