A HUGE hole has been dug in a petrol station forecourt as part of ongoing improvement work at the filling station.

Tesco Superstore in Mill Wood Drive, Warndon Villages, Worcester closed its petrol filling station on Tuesday, May 7 while it undergoes 'improvements' with work now well underway.

The latest photos show a large hole has been dug in the centre of the forecourt where the fuel tanks are stored. The canopy has already been removed but the shop itself is still there.

The petrol station will remain closed until August and is now behind a chainlink fence.
