First reported 24.10.2022 (1 year) on FixMyStreet (3910065). Job closed in December (passed to Anglian water and ticket raised for July). Anglian water checked (all ok) and passed back to highways. Now 2 large holes and dark nights. Barriers keep getting flattened and put back up again. What are we waiting for, someone to fall down it?

  • Investigation: Completed (Defect Found) - The sink holes on Lower Mounts have been made safe by erecting 6 feet high Heras fencing around the 2 existing sink holes. At present we are carrying out a through ground investigation works with CCTV surveys to find out the reasons of these sink holes in the area of Lower Mounts.
    We can only fill the voids (existing sink holes) after completing the full ground investigation works. The time for completing this exercise is minimum six months (End of February 2025).
