Inspection chamber is gradually sinking into ground
Reported via desktop in the Carriageway category anonymously at 15:47, Sat 24 September 2022
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 3846003.
***NB The position marked is not the position of the problem. You site does not recognise Northwich Road between New Platt Lane and Knutsford Road as being a road*** The position of the problem is 230 metres South East of the marked location outside number 22 Northwich Road near the Post Box.
The inspection chamber here appears to be sinking into the ground. The problem has been getting worse over the last 6 months or so, to the extent that drivers familiar with the road move to the right into the NW bound carriageway to avoid it. When driven over unintentionally, the bump is quite alarming.

We deal with defects based on the level of immediate risk. We have assessed the issue and it does not present an immediate risk to highway users at this time. As the problem you have reported is not causing an immediate safety issue we will now look at the best long- term approach for this location. We keep all roads and highway assets safe through our routine inspections. If anything is identified as a risk during a future inspection, we will take action to deal with it as appropriate.
State changed to: No further action
