Lawrence Street Water Cover Reported Missing

Click on image to enlarge

Residents in Lawrence Street in Broughty Ferry have complained to me that they have reported a missing cast iron water stop cock cover to Scottish Water several weeks ago but it remains without a replacement cover. 

They are concerned that this is a hazard for walkers in their street. Someone inadvertently stepping into this hole might end up with a serious sprain or broken bone in their foot or leg.

Visiting the site earlier this week, I observed that among this group of five utility covers close together, it would be easy to not notice that one had its cover missing.

I have reported this to Scottish Water and sent them a copy of my photograph too.
