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.

Gedling Borough Council have now put additional fencing around the sinkhole and warned people to stay away,
