Watch: Another 'sinkhole' opens in West Midlands town
The ‘sinkhole’ was reported in Kidderminster.
Another ‘sinkhole’ has opened up in Kidderminster.
It has appeared on the pavement on Stoney Lane and was reported on social media by Nikki Moore who said she spotted a sinkhole while walking her dog last week.
A spokesman for Worcestershire County Council said: “We received a report of a suspected sinkhole on Stoney Lane last week.
“A highways inspector has already attended the location to assess the situation, and a repair has been arranged and will be carried out within the next seven days.”
It comes after a sinkhole appeared in the middle of the road on Sutton Road on July 15, with residents having blocked the area with a wheelie bin to warn motorists not to travel over it.
Work crews from Worcestershire County Council arrived at the scene later on and cordoned off the area around the sinkhole to carry out repairs.
