Missing Drain Cover
Reported via desktop in the Manhole Cover category anonymously at 11:26, Wednesday 29 October 2025
Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 930614.
There is a missing drain cover on the road at the side of the School. We feel this is a danger as someone could trip or break there ankle if walking there - especially when it is dark.

We'll refer the matter to them for investigation and repair but for any further information or updates, you may wish to contact the utility company directly by calling their customer helpline on 0800 0778 778 or through their website at www.scottishwater.co.uk/Help-and-Resources/Contact-Us/Contacting-Us.
Please note that utility covers, access points and associated equipment remain the responsibility of the provider, and the Roads Authority does not carry out repairs to these assets. We do however maintain the road/footway surface that surrounds them.
