Sinkhole appears on Tanners Street

June 9, 2016 by Lee 2 Comments

On the morning of Thursday the 9th if June a large sinkhole appeared in the middle of the cross section between Tanners Street and Rostron Road.

It’s believed the cause of this is likely due to heavy rain and flash floods in the past 24 hours.

Early reports suggest the work could continue to repair the sinkhole on until the 13th if June but this could extend once more investigation is done into the cause of the sinkhole.

Residents are being forced to park on side roads but parking has always been a premium on Tanners Street.

This is Rammy  understands a car was towed away earlier when the owner was unable to be contacted so that roadworks could begin.

I have since been informed that the owner of the car was located and was able to move it before it was towed away.

The car was sitting directly on the hole.
