Drain cover in road not flush and creates massive noise whenever driven over, 11th June

Sun, 11 Jun 2017 12:47:10 +0100
54.839198 -1.866753

There is drain cover on Sussex Road just beyond the junction of Donnington Place that does not sit flush with the road. It creates two massive bangs as vehicles front then back wheels drive over it. My house is right next to the drain. It can wake us in the middle of the night, it can make us jump at any time of the day and it is a really irritating noise pollution that I think can be easily remedied.
