Definition of a manhole cover
A manhole cover is the metal lid of a drain which can be found on pavements throughout Harrow. Over time, manholes can become worn, damaged or even go missing.
As well as becoming trip hazards for pedestrians, manhole lids or covers can end up in the roads, footpaths or gardens.

Mark the location on the map
The button below will take you to a page with a map. Position the map so that the 'Confirm Location' marker points to the location with the issue.
Alternatively, at the top of the map you can type an address that's close to the location in question. However once the map has reorientated you will need to adjust the 'Confirm Location' marker so that it points to the exact location of the manhole.
The marker must be on the green shading or you will not be able to proceed. Sections that are not green are not maintained by the Council.
Once the 'Confirm Location' marker is in the right place, click it to proceed.
How we deal with reported manhole cover problems
One of our inspectors will visit the location of the manhole, identify its owner and report the issue directly to their company.
We do not carry out direct repairs on manhole covers. We aim to respond to your report within three working days. A site visit from one of our inspectors will be conducted within 5-7 working days.
