cul-de-sac

About 30 homes were evacuated on Sunday morning and Simon Williams, whose family owns the bungalow where the sinkhole appeared, said it could be months until residents of the cul-de-sac could safely return home.

The cul-de-sac has been closed and people are being advised to avoid the area.

When news a rare American songbird had been spotted in a sleepy West Yorkshire cul-de-sac eager ornithologists converged on the quiet street faster than a falcon in free fall.

Crowds of birdwatchers flocked to a quiet cul-de-sac after a rare sighting of a species perched on a garden washing line.

Outside, there was little traffic in the cul-de-sac, meaning the boys could run around carefree with little perceptible danger.
