Guess when a big hole will appear at Ralston/Meadows

How about a sweep where we guess when the road will open up at the junction Rlaston Rd and Meadows Ave.

I think something strange is happening underneath due to the undulations over a large area.

My car takes a bit of a knock when going over the junction at slow speed.

Anyone an expert with holes, or even undulations that aspire to be holes in the future?

The amount of water pouring down from the area of the Grammar School could be a good bet. Everything surrounding this area is continually flooded - Kintyre Park, lower School Field etc. The main Witchburn connection is too small and needs increased in dimension, as is the pipe which conducts the burn that runs under Kintyre Gardens. All the water from the top field used to be diverted into the burn system that ran through the old woods - now Kintyre Gardens. Everything is too small to handle the increase in rainfall. Water cannot find a natural outlet - hence potential big holes!!
