Residents evacuated after a sinkhole swallowed up a Surrey village high street say they have "no idea" how long they will be left out of their homes. Homeowners and businesses in Godstone have been left in limbo after the sinkhole appeared in the High Street on Monday,

Homes surrounding a 20m-wide sinkhole that swallowed parts of a village high street remain at risk – and it could be months before evacuees can return home, a local councillor has said.

A huge sinkhole that opened in the middle of a Surrey village has stopped getting bigger but could prevent people from returning home for months, according to a councillor. Two sections of Godstone High Street have caved in since Monday night, with 30 homes evacuated.
