A residential street has been shut this afternoon after a sinkhole opened up in the road.
Engineers are in Ivy lane, Bognor, trying to fix the gaping hole in the tarmac which measures roughly a metre across.
It is not yet known what caused the hole but the road will remain shut while repair works are carried.
One bystander said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s just frustrating for the people that live here.
“Hopefully they can get it fixed soon.”
West Sussex County Council has been contacted for comment.
