Council confirms outcome of investigation into Stony Stratford sinkhole
Milton Keynes City Council has confirmed it filled a sinkhole in Stony Stratford with concrete to make it safe.
The hole, which was reported to be around six foot deep, was reported on the High Street on Friday June 26.
The hole caused damage to the road surface on the High Street between Fegan’s Court and York Road, leading to the northern end of the High Street being temporarily closed to allow work to take place.
Milton Keynes City Council advised the Citizen it was liaising with Anglian Water to determine who was responsible for the repairs.
In an update given to us this week a spokesperson for the authority said: “We carried out an investigation on the sinkhole including checking with the local water utility.
“They advised this was not their asset so to make it safe we filled the void with concrete.
“This enabled us to partially open the road to traffic again.”
