Sinkhole Stalemate in Worsley

A sinkhole has been swallowing up a street in Worsley, England for over a year—since March last year—and residents are fed up, even celebrating its “birthday.” Caused by a collapsed private sewer, no one wants to own up to fixing it: the council says it’s not their call, the water company claims they never adopted it, and the developer, Bloor Homes, remains silent. Frustrated homeowners are stuck in a bureaucratic limbo, with the council even suggesting they pay for repairs—a proposal met with outrage. Local MP Yasmin Qureshi is now pushing for a meeting to force accountability and a safety plan, demanding the fix be done at no cost to residents before someone gets hurt.
