Two Abingdon streets are today cordoned off after a deep hole opened up over the weekend.

The hole in West St Helen Street is estimated to be 12ft deep and about 2ft by 4ft wide.

Investigations into the cause are beginning today but the collapse happened on Saturday night.

The majority of East St Helen Street and the lower end of West St Helen Street are cordoned off.

We all knew the consequences of uncontrolled mass immigration but Labour passed laws to prevent us thinking and speaking about it.

Foolish ET, that is not a hole; it is the newly developed shopping centre!

Just about the correct standard!

The hole is reportedly where Jerry Patterson was hiding his back hander cash (allegedly)
