Don't forget some of these drains have been in place for donkeys years. Fitting one with a plastic lid would probably mean digging out the old one to fit a new type which would be very expensive.

The cause of all this is that they are being stolen. It is the job of the Police to catch thieves not Councils so where are they and what are they doing about it?
Its like I've always said, when it comes to scrap metal, the scumbags that thieve any metal have to sell it somewhere, if the net was tightened on scrap dealers they wouldn't have anywhere to sell their ill gotten gains
