SINKHOLE - WEST STREET TO THE PARADE (ALLEYWAY)

As some residents will have perhaps noticed, a sinkhole has appeared on the alleyway leading from West Street to The Parade. Yesterday evening, I placed a temporary traffic cone over the sinkhole in the interests of public safety; however, members of the public should be aware that the surrounding footpath may give way at any time and should avoid the area if possible. 

Having checked with Cheshire East Highways and Land Registry records, ownership of the land appears to rest with Aberdeen Asset Management (now known as Abrdn) as shown in the diagram below. I would like to reassure residents that I have contacted Abrdn to advise them of the situation and have asked them to take appropriate remedial action.
