Bit late to the debate but a few weeks ago we were on the C&MC site at Middlesbrough, site newly refurbished whole new mh service point with 3 round grates for waste water drop 
why did they not put a central drive over grid? Yes I can manage to lift them but you have to drive over them first to position your mh in the right place..
Posted on 23/05/2018 19:58 bySteve, In the example in your picture I assume that if my pipe is anywhere above the black rectangle I can open the valve and the water will run into the drain. That is therefore what I would do and if it runs elsewhere then CC Ltd has provide a facility that is not fit for purpose. Simples

Posted on 23/05/2018 18:51 by SteveL...but Steve, why does the MHSP have to be 'in front of a facility location'? a MHSP drain can run for many metres back into the main drains..
Clearly it doesn't. However, placing them elsewhere would require a suitable available space that could be connected to the drainage system. This would almost certainly be more expensive. I can only assume the CC does not wish to spend that sort of money.
The two I have seen at Hawes and Cirencester are relatively inexpensive constructions. Certainly if / when we get a MH I would much rather use them than having to lift a grid.

oh, don't get me wrong, I definitely agree, this is progresss, I don't like lifting manhole covers either...
its just that (IMHO, of course) this was a missed opportunity to implement the design mentioned by TW and used extensively throughout Europe...
still, far better than what we currently have so be thankful, I guess...

Posted on 23/05/2018 21:14 by JVB66Absolutely ,and with our neighbours comments when we were at Hawes then even more so,its the lack of competance of what seems most motor caravan owners/leasers and hired drivers that need some thought rather than blame any others

When you consider the cost of them and the technology available these days, it does seem a little surprising they don't mount a relatively inexpensive strategically placed camera to aid in positioning the waste. Even on my X trail, which cost less than half what we are looking at paying for a MH, I can switch between forward facing, rear or side cameras, or a composite generated aerial view.
