A large sinkhole has appeared in the centre of a Nottinghamshire village which is causing an ‘inconvenience to the residents and businesses’. On March 14 (Sunday), a sinkhole opened up at the junction of Main Road and Plumtree Road in Cotgrave.
The sinkhole has created a "significant water leak" which has caused the roads to be closed in both directions. Nottinghamshire Police first put the road closures in place on Sunday afternoon [May 14] and passed on the incident to the County Council, as Severn Trent work to fix the issue.
“It's one of those things, all that’s happening is traffic is being diverted.," said County Councillor Richard Butler. "It’s quite a busy junction and the sinkhole appeared yesterday. They’re doing what they have to do. The main effect is on the traffic on Bingham Road and Main Road and it’s being diverted.
