There is a drain at the junction of Bedford Street and Eastern Road that is gradually sinking.

I know a number of residents have complained about the noise made as cars and buses pass over it.

I was most concerned when I was near the corner and actually saw the metal cover lift and drop back in.

What concerns me is that should a motorbike or car wheel hit it there could be the most dreadful accident.

I gather someone came to look at it, tapped it and went away again!

I should hate to be the one writing to you again to say: “They were told about this weeks ago” – especially if someone is injured.

Perhaps Brighton Council could treat this as a priority.
