Collapsed culvert at Blackhall Rocks

Earlier this week a resident reported what appeared to be a sinkhole in between the two fields and close to the pathway to and from the railway bridge directly to the south of Pattison Crescent in Blackhall Rocks.


Council workers isolated the immediate area to make the location safe until engineers had carried out investigative works. Preliminary works have now been carried out and drainage engineers believe that the hole, approximately 3 feet deep, has been caused by a collapsed culvert running beneath the field.

The area around the hole has been made safe until repair works can be carried out. These are scheduled to take place next week so please try to avoid this area in the meantime.
