It is hard to stay polite, when I cannot sleep being woken up 50times a night with a metal "bang" and you were fixing this 3times with the same result: 1) Report:11Jan 14Jan applied tarmac - lasted 2days 2) Report: 18Jan 21Jan applied tarmac - lasted 4days 3) Report: 1Feb 7(8)Feb applied tarmac - lasted 1day
The cover is super loud, rusty and it is moving a lot, so tarmac does not stay there. Fix it properly please, people can't sleep here!!!
1 Feb 2020: I was already reporting this twice and I don't enjoy doing it every week. There were two attempts to fix it by putting a layer of tarmac on top of the cover. This obviously does not work as it does not last a week for it to start being noisy again. Can you please send someone who can REPLACE the cover this time or at least make sure the cover is sitting on the drain properly, so it doesn't move? Then they can apply the tarmac, because there is a chance it will stay there longer.
Thank you!
18 Jan 2019: I have sent a report below for you to fix the cover making loud noise. First of all I would like to thank you for a quick response. The workers arrived on the 15th Jan and patched the cover with some asphalt. However just 2 days later the noise is on the same level as before, because the asphalt is almost gone. I am afraid it needs a bit more effort to fix it. New pictures are attached. Thank you.
11 Jan 2020: Drain cover makes loud noise every time car goes over it. It is annoying at daytime. At nighttime it is unbearable as it can wake us up couple of times every night. It is happening since November, I was reporting it on call. End of December there was some road work being done, so it looked like it may get fixed, but it seems it is now even worse (louder).
