Leitrim Council to assess manholes ‘out of level’ with road surface
A review will identify manholes requiring repairs in Manorhamilton, with a contractor to be brought in to reset covers where necessary.
There have been reports of manholes that are out of level with the road in and around Manorhamilton, with a review to be carried out to identify where repairs are needed.
Cllr Eddie Mitchell highlighted the issue at a meeting of Manorhamilton Municipal District, saying it was prompted by concerns raised with him by local residents.
His motion stated, “I ask the Manorhamilton Municipal District to review the existing manholes on the road in the town of Manorhamilton as there are a number of these out of level with the road surface and there are depressions and holes around some manholes.”
The motion was unanimously supported by councillors in the Municipal District.
Cllr Mitchell commented that the area beside the Bee Park is a problem area.
District Engineer Paul McMahon confirmed that a review will be carried out and repairs will be undertaken where necessary.
He said a contractor will need to be brought in to reset the manhole covers.
