A road where gaping sink holes have repeatedly appeared is to be the subject of an underground survey after worried residents called for action.
The most recent collapse on Heywood Road in Prestwich happened on July 17 after heavy rain when a sewer collapsed. It created a crater at least six metres wide.
It's not the first time Heywood Road has been hit by the issue. A similar huge sink-hole opened up on the same road in October 2016.
At that time, some Heywood Road residents said the route was used as a rat run for motorists, including heavy goods vehicles, travelling along Bury Old Road.
