Parnell sinkhole causes a stink for locals

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 10 October 2023

The huge sinkhole in the Auckland suburb of Parnell is causing a stink with neighbouring business reporting foul smells in the area.

The sinkhole opened up last month above a broken and blogged sewer main pipe which is sending massive amounts of raw sewage into the Waitemata Harbour.

Now, as crews work tirelessly to fix the pipe causing the hole, nearby businesses continue to grapple with the disruption.
