Police have closed off a road through an industrial estate in Morecambe after a hole appeared.

A section of Northgate on White Lund was shut on Saturday after the discovery of the hole in the road close to several local businesses.

Mark Shaw, director of the nearby Mastrpart auto parts shop, posted a photo of the hole on their Facebook page.

Mr Shaw told Beyond Radio that the hole was discovered on Saturday morning.

"It's about two feet in diameter and maybe a few feet deep in all directions," he said.

Mr Shaw said the road had been closed from near to Morecambe Metals up to the old Kia garage, and the hole had been reported to the council.

He said Mastrpart was still open for walk-in customers.

Beyond Radio has contacted Lancashire Police and Lancashire County Council highways for comment.
