Shock as ‘huge crater’ opens in road near Portaferry
The DUP’s Alex Easton said the hole was so big there is a “clear view of sea lapping below”.
Mr Easton said: “I am amazed and bewildered to see such a huge hole in the road coming out of Portaferry, and another two also forming on the coastal road further down.

“This should not have been left in such a dangerous condition and urgent action is required to ensure the road is closed and there is no access along it and also that urgent repairs are taken as a matter of urgency.
“This matter has been reported to both Transport NI and the PSNI.
“The message is for drivers to avoid the Shore Road, Portaferry.”
