Residents asked to 'minimise' car movements after sinkhole opens up in road

Residents on a street in Stockport have asked to 'minimise' car movements after a sinkhole opened up on the road surface. The small hole was discovered on Rae Street, at the junction with Bloom Street in Edgeley.

Council workers called in the water company United Utilities after discovering a depression in the road. The water company says the sewer has not collapsed and it isn't clear what the cause of the sinkhole is.

However whilst carrying out investigations they say they have discovered some damage to pipes which they are going to take the opportunity to fix.
