OXFORD, N.S.—The spokesperson for a small Nova Scotia town says there are “ongoing negotiations with geophysical and geotechnical firms” to have work completed at the site of a mysterious sinkhole that took a huge bite out of a local park over the summer. While there haven’t been any significant changes to report, Oxford deputy clerk Linda Cloney says the water level at the sinkhole is now higher than the lake water around it, and it keeps swallowing small amounts of soil. A sinkhole is seen in Oxford, N.S. While the growth has slowed for the most part, toward the end of September new cracks had appeared in the surrounding pavement. And last month, some more cracks appeared near the geological phenomenon, though no more were found in the parking lot.
