I emailed my local member of parliament back when I posted this.

I've just had my second letter from him with a copy of a letter he received from the council's Executive Director.
Basically says they are looking into the matter.

I bet they've already had some thoughts about those man made covers because only last week some thieving scrotes had a few manhole covers away for scrap value.

No doubt they're having their benefits cut under the new and woefully late "get off your lazy arse and work" rules being rolled out so they have to feed their dope habit by nicking and flogging scrap metal.
