Anti-slip covers installed at Caerphilly

Caerphilly Council planned to install several access covers in a farmer’s field to facilitate the connection of drainage pipes to help alleviate recent flooding problems in the surrounding area.

The owners of Groeswen Farm initially rejected the proposal of access covers being installed in their field. Primary concerns arose from the fear that their prize hunt horses would get injured by slipping on the covers. There is awareness within the equine industry that horses are spooked by traditional manhole covers and the owners shared this concern.
