There is no timescale which they will be replaced. I did express my concerns as to the fact that the one for instance on Rough Lee Rd the cone is so far embedded down the hole that no-one would know about it unless you looked inside the drain, and that I have my 21 month old with me when we walk past this one a couple times a day & it makes me shudder to think what would happen if say he or another young child stepped into this hole. He also mentioned that 30+ more drain covers were stolen just last week. So the result they are being done, when? who knows, they want to get their priorities right I think.
Perhaps they are doing a crafty?

Getting metal ones on the cheap?

They've perhaps found a guy with a bit of a brogue accent that can supply them with unlimited replacements, so long as it's cash in hand & no questions asked.
