    The reckless thieves have been slammed for exposing the drains to create “death traps” for cyclists and other road users after making off with covers from across Midlothian.

    The missing covers – all stolen in the last two months – are now being replaced by hinged models to make them difficult to steal.

    Think all the covers on the Wisp were stolen years back, the council solution was to bolt steel plates over the holes, with a tyre-width slot in it to allow water (and bike wheels) access.
