The opening, which is by the entrance of St Ninians Primary School on Torbrex Road, was discovered on Friday morning.

Stirling Council was on-site to manage traffic while the sinkhole was investigated.

It was covered by a board.

“Council staff were on site to cover the opening with a board and to manage traffic.

“Cars were passing through with very minor delays.”

A Stirling Council spokesperson said:  “Following a water leak, a small sinkhole has formed this morning (30 May) on Torbrex Road, St Ninians.
