A sink hole has opened up in a Surrey village after heavy rain raising fears that more ground could give way.

The hole at Caterham on the Hill was about 6ft (1.8m) wide and was about 20ft (6m) deep before mud fell in.

Tandridge Council said the hole was fenced off and insists the site is now stable.

As there are drainage pipes underneath further investigations are now taking place to find out the exact cause.
