Another sinkhole just appeared on Heywood Road in Prestwich, shutting down traffic since Tuesday—locals even tried marking it off with trash cans before police arrived. This isn’t the first time: a major sinkhole hit here in 2016, another near Bury New Road in 2021, and multiple smaller ones popped up this year around Bury Old Road. Residents are fed up with the constant underground surprises disrupting their daily lives. United Utilities and Bury Council are investigating, but no answers yet—this could be the latest in a troubling pattern beneath the surface.
