“The road will remain closed until the work is completed and the surface is reinstated. We are working as quickly and safely as possible and we would like to thank everyone for their patience.”
On Sunday (April 1), a spokesman for Southern Water said the sinkhole was possibly due to a ‘sewer collapse’ but no customers had been affected.
