call your insurance company and ask what they think..
failing that... call the council.. report the issue.. as the cover has already fallen in the hole.. they won't need to fix it.... if it was still there.. reporting it means no one else would fall victim...
i had an issue with a pothole causing sever rim damage.. i called the council.. and first and foremost they took details of where the potholes were.. so they could get them repaired... and then referred me to their insurance company to claim damages...
their insurance company just said to sent them in writing details of where and when the incident occured.. plus to include 2 quotes for repair.. or receipts if the repair was already done...
good luck with it mate
