Daily Photo: 22/02/2012 – Greenwich Church Street hole
February 22, 2012 by Rob Powell
This watery hole seemed to appear in Greenwich Church Street, outside Greggs, last night. Local resident, Robert Gray, says he felt the paving stone give way when he was returning from a trip to a shop. He explains:
“I knew there was something afoot when I trod on the slab and it gave way. My foot went in and I ended up on the floor. I do hope it can be repaired before anyone else might be hurt.”
Two police cones were placed in the vicinity of the hole by this morning but one passer-by told me other paving stones close to the hole did not feel secure under foot.
The hole has been logged with Greenwich Council and reported to their Highways team for repair.
More of Thames Water’s precious fluid. Let’s hope the hole does not end up as big as the one that appeared after some of their previous leaks: http://www.undergreenwich.co.uk/hole.jpg
