This was the damage done on the 22nd April.
A very ‘temporary’ steel plate was placed over the man-hole (not very satisfactory).
On Saturday 23rd there were traffic lights in place and a large number of EDF personnel
working. When I next saw the path on Monday the steel plate was still there and some repairs to both the path and a foot of road about a metre from the manhole was observed.
Yesterday Tuesday the complete road was closed (no notice given to anyone) and mayhem along the road – including myself having to make a detour via Glassmoor Bank/Pondersbridge. I am not sure if the road closeure was in place overnight.
I am informed that at 11:00 this morning all was clear. I will check in a short while.
(The utilities/authorities can close roads without notice in the case of an emergency)
