A road in Sussex has been closed by police after a sinkhole appeared.
Officers said a big "void" opened up in Church Street in Storrington and cannot be fixed this weekend.
They have issued a safety warning as the hole appears smaller than it is.
A spokesperson for Horsham Police said: "Unfortunately we have had to close Church Street in Storrington due to a sinkhole near the barbershop.
"Although on the surface this looks like a small hole, underneath the road there is a void measuring roughly 6ft by 6ft. West Sussex Highways are aware, but the work required means they cannot look to fix it until Monday.
"We therefore ask that no-one move the barriers that have been put in place for the safety of all road users.
"Thank you for your understanding."
