Suspected sinkhole in Wolverhampton street prompts concerns for safety of children and dog walkers
A suspected sinkhole has appeared in a Wolverhampton street prompting residents to raise concerns for the safety of children and dog walkers.
The "very deep" hole was spotted near to a drain at the corner of Lapper Avenue and Ward Grove and had been filled with litter, including an empty bottle of rum.
Wolverhampton Council said repairs "will be undertaken" to repair the road defect after residents took to social media to speak of their safety concerns.
One woman posted a picture of the pothole – which is near to Hill Avenue Primary School – on Facebook, saying she "would hate it if anyone got hurt".
The post read: "Please be careful at the bottom of Lapper Avenue on the corner of Ward Grove. I’m not sure if it’s a sinkhole starting or just a very deep hole.
