People using a park in Carlton are being warned to be on their guard after a sinkhole opened up on the main field that one resident warned is “getting bigger and bigger”

The sinkhole appeared a few days ago on the playing field next to the Richard Herrod Centre and was spotted by resident Tony Buckross who alerted his followers on Facebook after the council taped off the area.

He said: “There is a sinkhole opening up on the field and each day it is getting bigger, all the council have done is put a flimsy barrier around it and dogs can still go up to it,

“This is very dangerous as the edge of the hole is crumbling away and the hole is extremely deep, these picture were taken two days ago and it is a lot bigger now.”
