Dip in middle of road - early sink hole sign??

Reported via mobile in the Road Defect category anonymously at 01:02, Friday 9 August 2024

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6334461.

There is a significant dip in the road that is not a pothole but rather a sinking of the highway it’s probably been there 5-7 days. Perhaps this could indicate something has collapsed below the surface of the road.

Approximately outside no 4 The Grove.

  • LBB is aware, this matter is in-hand and works will be raised in due course.

  • This is a danger to traffic and thereby pedestrians as it is easy for someone to lose control of their vehicle as the hole is deep and difficult to see. What does due course mean? Months/years? Do you have an estimate? Many thanks

  • Thank you for redirecting me to your previous answer, Which I’ve clearly read, but “in due course” gives no indication of actual timescale. Your latest response is much more helpful – thank you.
