Work to fill in playground sinkhole to cost £270k

Local authorities have announced plans to fill in a sinkhole that has appeared in a playground, with an estimated cost of £270,000.

The sinkhole, which is located in the center of the playground, has raised concerns among parents and residents about the safety of the area. It is believed to have been caused by a combination of heavy rainfall and poor drainage systems.

The local council has stated that the work to fill in the sinkhole will begin next month and is expected to take several weeks to complete. It will involve removing the debris from the sinkhole, stabilizing the surrounding area, and filling it in with a combination of soil and concrete.

The playground will be temporarily closed during the construction work, but the council has assured residents that alternative play areas will be provided nearby.

We will continue to provide updates on the progress of the work to fill in the sinkhole as more information becomes available.
