Work to fill in playground sinkhole to cost £270k

Residents in the local community have expressed concerns over a sinkhole that has appeared in the playground of a popular park. The sinkhole, which measures 10 feet in diameter and 5 feet deep, has been deemed a safety hazard by local authorities.

To address the issue, the council has announced plans to fill in the sinkhole at an estimated cost of £270,000. The project is expected to take several weeks to complete, during which time the playground will be closed to the public.

Local residents have mixed feelings about the cost of the project, with some expressing relief that the issue is being addressed, while others question whether the money could be better spent elsewhere in the community.

Despite the controversy, the council has assured residents that the safety of the community is their top priority, and that the project will go ahead as planned.
