A sinkhole has opened up along Linslade Road, Rodbourne. Pictured is Robert Gosling of Ron’s Stores who feels it has affected his business
The 1ft wide crater on Linslade Street is believed to have appeared yesterday morning.
Council workers barred the street to traffic later that day, placing cones and barriers around it.
Robert Gosling, partner at Ron's Stores hardware shop, alerted the local authority after placing bin bags around the hole to ensure no one drove over or accidentally stepped into it.
"I reported it to the council and they turned up an hour-and-a-half later," he said.
"We were just driving out to a delivery when we saw some people around the hole. We got out to have a look.

Huge chasms have begun to appear in a cemetery in Gravesend exposing unmarked graves and leaving families fearing for the loved ones they have lost.
Cemetery bosses spoke of their shock at seeing the huge number of graves being engulfed by the sodden ground following weeks of wet weather.
A council spokesman told Kent Online: "It is quite common for graves to sink - especially after a period of heavy rain. But none of the staff has seen anything of this scale."
He added that staff were working hard to fill the holes believed to be due to the recent storms and heavy rain experienced across the country.
He continued: "We have been working hard to top up the affected graves using extra staff from other teams and the Team Green. It is a gradual process but it is a priority to deal with them."

The largest of 10 active water main breaks in the city occurred on the 1300 block of N. Wanamaker St. in West Philadelphia, where a sinkhole opened up on a flooded street, nearly swallowing a city garbage truck.
"I could feel the pipes rumbling beneath my feet and the ground shaking," resident Zahir Yancey said as he described the moments before the hole opened up.
"It looks like a cave. I've never seen anything like that in my life, it's absurd," he said.
Gladys Holliday, who also lives on the block, says she saw the entire incident unfold.
