Subsidence around both drain covers, with what looks like possible future collapse

Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 950580.
Drains are in the corner, next to the pavement outside 16 Carronhall. The hole and subsidence have been developing since last year, however, it would appear that autumn/winter has really exacerbated the issue
