Fire crews were called to a road in Bexhill this morning after a dangerous sinkhole appeared in the carriageway.
Colebrooke Road has been closed to all traffic after an apparent water leak has caused a ‘massive’ void under the road.
Ben Hewes, South East Water Distribution Manager told Bexhill News; “We’re really sorry to anyone impacted by our road closure in Colebrooke Road, Bexhill. We were alerted to a hole in the road earlier this afternoon and found a leaking pipe.”
He added; “All customers in the area have their normal water supply and work to repair both the damaged pipe and the road surface are ongoing. We cannot say with certainty when the road will reopen but please be assured we will carry out the repairs as quickly and safely as possible.”
