I recently requested an update from
the council on the action that is being taken to deal with the ‘sinkhole’ that
appeared in the parking area at Beach Crescent. Apparently there is a void in
the sea wall and fine material is being drawn out of the void by the tide which
has resulted in the collapse of the carriageway adjacent to it.
It is intended to fill the sink
hole with concrete and reinstate the carriageway thereafter. Firstly, trial
holes are to be dug on Monday 18th May to determine the foundation for the
concrete with the works to follow thereafter. There are another two voids in
the sea wall but these are not impacting on the carriageway. A proprietary
expanding foam concrete is to be injected into these voids.
