A number of roads in Bath city centre are open again after a sink hole appeared.

A minor underground explosion around 5pm on Wednesday 24 June is believed to have led to the road in High Street opening up.

A 15m cordon was put up for High Street, Bridge Street, Orange Grove, Bog Island, and North Parade - but Avon and Somerset Police confirm this has now been lifted.

A barrier remains in place around the immediately affected area.
