Hello, there is a failing manhole cover next to the curved path in the trees in this park. The brick surround has pulled away, so there is no support there. It seems to have been repaired in the past by placing a wooden 4x2 beam underneath, which has now half-rotted through. Could someone escalate this for urgent repair please? It doesn’t look safe any more and children often play around this part of the trees because it is next to the children's playground.
