Road re-opens after Severn Trent complete works on sinkhole in Southwell

A road has re-opened to traffic after a week closed due to a sinkhole.

Market Place/Westgate, Southwell, is now open again as the hole has been repaired by Severn Trent.

The water company accepted responsibility for the sinkhole early last week, and the road closure was initially planned to last until Friday, April 26.

During the closure a diversion was in place via Westgate, Allenby Road, Queen Street, the Ropewalk and Lower Kirklington Road, and bus services were also diverted.
