Southwark confirmed to the AJ that a hole running directly alongside the practice\u2019s 27-storey EDGE tower, which is currently being built on Fenning Street, appeared on 6 January.<\/p>\n
The cause of the sink hole is unknown and the council has added in a statement that it is monitoring the situation along with Mace, the site contractor.<\/p>\n
A council spokesperson said: \u2018The exact cause of the sinkhole remains under investigation and when the investigation is concluded, we will share findings.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018The council\u2019s engineering services are in close liaison with the team from Mace [and] Work at the construction site continues with the hole being continually monitored seven days a week.\u2019<\/p>\n
