Report on FixMyStreet

When turning right of holyhurst road onto woodland road my car tyres slip on the man hole cover causing a delay when setting of which may cause a accident, i've witnessed several other drivers doing the same. This seems to only happen when it's wet. The said cover is very well worn and has a smooth appearance. This junction is bad enough in rush hour with people constantly taking risks & i for one think the second or two delay with the slip just adds to the problem. I'd be interested to hear what the remedy will be.
