CARMARTHENSHIRE: Broken sewer pipe caused Pembrey sinkhole as Dŵr Cymru called in to carry out repairs
Residents in Pembrey were left alarmed after a hole in Lando Road — which had been patched earlier in the day — collapsed, revealing what locals described as a sinkhole beneath the surface.
Photographs shared on social media showed a large void in the road surface, with the temporary repair material having given way to expose the extent of the problem underneath.
One resident reported that a driver had hit the hole earlier in the morning and had their exhaust ripped off, leaving them facing a repair bill of at least £300.
Carmarthenshire County Council highway maintenance teams carry out emergency repairs on Lando Road. Picture: Tristam EvansLocal councillor Michael Thomas, who represents the Pembrey and Burry Port area, said Carmarthenshire County Council had previously carried out what appeared to be an emergency temporary repair — standard practice to make an area safe quickly.
However, he said it appeared the issue had either reopened or that the earlier repair had not resolved the underlying problem.

“It appears the section may need to be stripped back properly, with foundational support and backing inserted beneath before the surface can then be fully relaid.”

Residents in the Pembrey and Burry Port community Facebook group had been raising concerns about the hole for several weeks, with locals saying it had been reported to the council on multiple occasions before the situation deteriorated.
Some had questioned from the outset whether the problem was a simple pothole or something more serious — a distinction that proved significant when the temporary patch failed.

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water has been notified and an inspector is due on site this evening. Remedial works are expected to be arranged and programmed by Dŵr Cymru, with repairs currently anticipated for tomorrow.

A Bengaluru entrepreneur’s unusual decision to use his Porsche to repair a pothole has gone viral, sparking a heated debate online. Was it civic activism or a clever marketing stunt? https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/viral-video-bengaluru-entrepreneur-porsche-pothole-fix-vntjx0mt?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Bengaluru #Porsche #pothole #viral

Next, I came across a #Mamdani #pothole patrol! In the first picture, a man fills a pothole w asphalt from the truck while another sets up orange barrels. Then I missed him using a broom w super long bristles to sweep the asphalt over the hole & begin tamping it down. Next, he gets the watering can filled w liquid tar, while a third guy tamps down the #asphalt. As he pours tar around the outside edge, the truck starts moving! Poof they disappear, dragging barrels behind.
Quite the spectacle.

As someone who regularly drives in both #Suffolk and #Essex I was surprised at the results as the #roads are little better across the Stour, but I think one reason for the govt allegedly using outdated figures in the case of Suffolk is their systems are from about 25 years ago and give near 0 feedback to any citizen who does report a #pothole (and both #Councils take months or even years to fix them.
Suffolk has got slightly better in recent times (since about 2024) , but they have only just got round to fixing road defects I reported in my local area not long after getting my #driving licence in 2019, so thats 5 years delay!

Drivers of a VW #van in #Wiltshire went over a #pothole 120mm deep full of water, their front wheel was broken from the steering arm, they lost control of the #vehicle and were involved in a #collision with an #ambulance before ending up in a ditch - luckily no one was injured but multiple #EmergencyService units had to attend the RTC #roads #infrastructure #UK #Transport

@Knightky and I are out on the Bruce Peninsula this weekend. I am currently on Lions Head Lookout, overlooking the Georgian Bay. This is one of my favourite places in Ontario. It's gorgeous, and this time of year, it's not too crowded. #hiking #cliffs #mushrooms #GeorgianBay #geology #pothole #GlacialPothole
