Baffled local residents have spoken out after a giant sinkhole appeared in the middle of their road. Parts of Valley Road, Carlton, are closed upon entry as work is carried out to fix the massive hole, which is now heavily boarded up.
Those living in the street say they are glad action was taken swiftly after the incident was reported earlier this week. One man recalled driving his car over part of hole and hearing a loud "thump."
Many have expressed their shock at being face with the giant "ugly" hole, stating that it has been "inconvenient" since it appeared, and are hopeful that their usually "quiet" street can soon return to normal.
