Enborne Road Shut

[Number 6]

I know a sink hole had closed part of Enborne  Road but now it seems to be closed as far down as Buckingham Road as well. Is anyone aware what is the cause ? Seems very strange although I noticed several drivers ignore the diversion and road closed signs and weave their way around them.  Me - I just did as the signs recommended and changed my route. Just the way I was brought up I guess. :)

I notice Enbourne Road is still closed due to the sinkhole. Anyone have any idea why it is taking so long - is there a vast pit waiting to swallow unwary travelers  from Hamstead Marshall and beyond ? Perhaps it's just a design study for a new form of bank ! Seriously I would appreciate any information on what is clearly a geological phenomenon of some interest .
