Hole in drain cover

Reported via mobile in the Damaged Drains category anonymously at 14:31, Tuesday 28 April 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9367656.

Last week the potholes were fixed up with tar, this drain cover had eroded tar around it so it was fixed, since then this drain has overflowed with effluent & running down the road & is not smelling so good.
