Repair works on a sinkhole in Dunbar caused by a breach of the sea wall are taking place.
Lamer Street remains closed to through traffic and pedestrians.
Work to stabilise the area and prevent further deterioration commenced on Friday morning.
Despite extremely challenging weather conditions, work to backfill the area affected has taken place over the weekend and further progress is expected to be made with this as the week continues, weather and tidal conditions permitting. We will provide further information on progress with repair work in the coming days. In the meantime, the road remains closed with fencing in place to keep the area where work is taking place secure. We are grateful to local residents for their patience and understanding.
The specific section of Lamer Street affected on this occasion is slightly further along the road from the sinkhole in 2023.
While there is not believed to be any disruption to customer utility supplies at present, council teams have monitored the situation and liaise with utility companies.
We will continue to keep the community updated as we manage and respond to the issue.
