Town centre road closed as crews look to fix sinkhole

A main road through Lynn town centre has been closed today as work continues to repair a sinkhole.

Part of King Street collapsed on Saturday, with police taping the area off to alert motorists to it.

And today, a full closure has been put in place – with Anglian Water crews attending the site this morning.

A spokesperson for the water company said that its staff carried out camera surveys on a sewer, but confirmed that there is nothing wrong with its asset.

The sinkhole is a highways issue, according to the spokesperson. Norfolk County Council’s highways team has been contacted for comment.

One resident described the sinkhole, which is close to St George’s Guildhall, as “deep”.
