Residents in a Nottinghamshire town have expressed their frustration after a “horrendous” sinkhole opened up on a road that had only been open for a few days following two months of closure due to another sinkhole. During the afternoon of Wednesday, June 21, Queens Road in Newark had to be closed again between North Gate and the Lovers Lane roundabout.
The road had been closed for around 10 weeks and had opened again earlier this week. However, the road has been closed after a new sinkhole appeared, leaving residents frustrated over the condition of the towns roads. Nottinghamshire County Council, the area's highways authority, said it was investigating the cause of the damage.
Kitchen fitter, Vincent Bamber, 50, said: “The signage was a lot better last time. Me and my partner didn’t know it was shut. It’s not clearly signed.”
