Very noisy drain cover with large chunks of dislodged tarmac

Reported via desktop in the Road Defect category by Tim Webb at 09:31, Fri 5 December 2025

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8504741.

Been there for months, unable to find a report on FMS so I can track progress, separate report raised to request clean up of chunks of the dislodged tarmac on the road. Will this be covered by the overnight carriageway repairs scheduled for 8/9 December? Many thanks.

    Getting worse. Large chunks of road surface broken up and exposed. Plus it makes a very clanging noise. Escalated via the local Ward Councillors.

    Getting much worse. See attached photo. The entire drain or gully is shaking up and down whenever a vehicle goes over it.

  • Official noise complaint also raised via council website as this is a real and worsening intolerable situation for local residents. Local Councillors also alerted.

  • This has become intolerable for the residents who live near here. Continuous disturbance day and night.

    Failing temporary repair made recently is unfit for purpose. 1. the loud clanging noise is still disturbing residents 2. the temporary repair is already breaking up, see chippings on the road. Escalated to Local Councillors to press for a better solution.
