Sinkhole opens following damage to water pipe

A damaged water pipe has caused a sinkhole to appear in a road in Littlehampton, West Sussex.

Southern Water said it was sending tankers to Capstan Drive to make sure customers did not lose their supply.

A traffic management system has also been set up on Coniston Way.

The company said: “Repairs will be taking place as soon as possible and we will endeavour to keep noise to a minimum.”
