A sinkhole that opened up on The Mall in Brading over the Bank Holiday weekend has led to the road’s closure.
Island Roads say they are working with partners to identify the cause of the void that has opened up in the middle of the carriageway.
The issue was discovered on Friday afternoon.
The road is closed to through traffic and barriers have been erected around the immediate area.
The main road through Brading remains open and residents of The Mall are still able to access their homes.
Are the council looking into it?
Yeah, they have a torch and everything!
Perhaps they could put a ‘portaloo’ over it for the irritable bowel visitors to use as one by one seaside wc’s are defunct.
Has this road been resurfaced, and when was it resurfaced?
“Island roads are looking into it” If only there was a joke there somewhere.
I think that was the joke as we all sadly knowthree men one torch would seem their tried and trusted approach
Bernard cribbins will be along soon.
Didn’t a sink hole open up, in this location, in the last year or so which was repaired by Island Roads? Surely the cause of this is the same as previously.
Island Roads obviously did a less than perfect repair last year. Nice little earner.
Secret tunnel, except its not anymore.
What did the sink hole say to the pot hole?
‘Nothing. Just ignored it.’
only two cones – that is at least a four coner.
Possibly the clip board man and his assistant haven’t looked yet and filled out a 6 page form. When he does can he also look at the patches of road breaking up Sandown side of Wilton garage. Are any roads and paths being resurfaced this year or is that all finished?
Surely repairing the hole would be better than” standing looking into it”
Probably a leaking water main
