Severn Trent has been repairing a collapsed sewer which led to a big sink hole opening up in the road, which is a main route west of the town leading to the Vale of Belvoir and Grantham.

Motorists and residents have complained about heavy congestion during the closure, which saw a diversion operated along King’s Road, Algernon Road and Stafford Avenue around the stretch being worked on.
