Work to fill in playground sinkhole to cost £270k

The local council has announced that it will be spending £270,000 to fill in a sinkhole that has opened up in a playground. The sinkhole, which appeared overnight, is said to be around 10 feet deep and has caused concern among local residents.

The council has reassured the public that the sinkhole poses no immediate danger, but has decided to take action to prevent any further issues. The work to fill in the sinkhole is expected to begin next week and will take several weeks to complete.

Local residents have expressed their relief that the council is taking action, but some have questioned why it has taken so long for the sinkhole to be addressed. The council has stated that it needed time to assess the situation and secure the necessary funding for the work.

Overall, the community is hopeful that the work will be completed swiftly and that the playground can be reopened for children to enjoy once again.
