Action scheduled
Drain Cover Loose and Raised
Reported via desktop in the Loose / Raised / Sunken category anonymously at 21:21, Wednesday 18 February 2026
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8950951.
The drain cover is outside 16 Wright St, not where the arrow is. It's not selectable as it's one long drain along the street.
Damage NOT caused by "Grain" doing the pavement work at the minute, I just forgot to report it earlier.
