Fallen over drain sticking out of pavement outside my house

We live on a new build estate and the site isn't finished yet so the roads and paths haven't been resurfaced. The roads are full of pot holes, I got a puncture after hitting one in the dark few months ago and complained to the building company who covered the cost of the repair.
Anyway there are 3 drains/sewer covers sticking up out of the pavement outside my house. We have small children and I'm worried one if going to fall over and hurt themselves. I didn't think it would be me, but I tripped over one a few days ago and went flying and have bruised my leg badly and been hobbling since.
I'm really cross! Do I have grounds to complain? Have attached a photo of the drains. Thanks.

Wow there's some really ratty replies here!!!!!
OP. Complain anyway but about the time it's going to take like email them every day and say you are concerned or put a proper barricade up that children cannot remove so to make it safer but keep pestering about the road. Sorry you are bruised and hobbling with a new born and a pup! Hope you get better soon.
