Ipswich sinkhole neighbours mock up ‘Arctic’ fishing rod scene at site

Rather than featuring bustling shops, High Street has a mix of dental practices, houses and Ipswich Museum.

Although the sinkhole and its barriers block off half the road, Mr Ordowski said traffic only tended to build up during the rush hours and when Ipswich Town were playing at home.

“It’s been quite amusing; it’s been here a month; personally it doesn’t bother me because I don’t have a driveway at the front,” he said.

A Suffolk County Council, external spokeswoman said: “An initial investigation has taken place, however the exact cause cannot be determined until the road has been excavated.

“The road will be closed on Friday, 19 April for repairs and installation of a new drainage gully.”
