I wrote to Shropshire County Council, as highway authority, to complain about the state of a road in Shrewsbury - the road's called Frankwell. It has loads of drain covers, and where Frankwell goes into Frankwell roundabout just over the Welsh Bridge there are a number of drain covers worn smooth and in the wet you may as well ride on sheet ice. Most need replacing but two, in the middle of the road, are particularly bad.

I got a letter back today which reads 'I have arranged for an inspection of all manhole covers and other ironwork within the highway at Frankwell. The two examples in your letter are the responsibility of Severn Trent Water...I have written to them requesting replacement of these manhole covers, together with other identified manholes in the area... Copthorne Road will be undergoing some patching, any manholes requisirng replacement will be attended to... Regarding your concerns about road humps, I have passed your letterto the Senior Traffic Engineer and requeted that he replies to you direct...'

A big up to Shropshire County Council for listening, and for bothering to reply. I'm going to reply to say thank you for taking it seriously and to let them know that I've posted this on here.
