Residents speak of 'inconvenient' road closure due to 'huge' 4-foot crater

Residents in a Nottinghamshire town have spoken out about a 'huge' crater which has left part of a busy road closed. The large hole has opened up due to a burst water main on Mansfield Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield.

The location of the four-foot deep hole is the corner of Mansfield Road and Outram Street, outside the New Cross pub. Severn Trent said it was working on getting the repairs done and the road reopened 'as soon as possible'.

Residents said the closure has caused the high street to be 'rammed' and described it as 'inconvenient'. Sixty-one-year-old Dawn Stanley said Outram Street is usually busy.
