Sink Hole In St Saviour Road

Wednesday, 12 June 2019 07:13

A sink hole has been filled in on a road in St Saviour, after it affected school run traffic this morning.

It happened because an extension pipe leading from a 70-year-old sewer deteriorated, with water and soil falling into it.

The government says this left the tarmac unsupported which in turn caused the hole to appear

Plat Douet School is asking parents to avoid using the car this morning, or to park at Waitrose.

Due to a sink hole opening up access to school tomorrow (by a vehicle) will be extremely difficult and there may be long delays.

Plat Douet Rd will be open for two way traffic up to the school but I am strongly advising you to walk to school if possible.

For those who have to drive please park at Waitrose and walk to school from there. Waitrose have given permission for you to do this.

Please show your support tomorrow by not using the road.

Kind regards,
Mr Walker
