It’s been reported that the sinkhole in Godstone will be investigated using 3D mapping technology.

Two sinkholes which appeared last week on the High Street initially caused 30 households in the area to be evacuated, although six have now returned.

The leader of Tandridge District Council’s Catherine Sayer said remote sensing called LiDAR would be used to create 3D maps instead of borehole testing, as this is less intrusive and will be used first.

A public meeting being hosted by the council will take place this evening (25th February) at St Nicholas Youth Centre, Godstone at 6.30pm to address concerns from residents and business owners. The meeting will be led by Chief Executive David Ford and  Council Leader Catherine Sayer with representatives from Surrey County Council Highways and Surrey Police.

Surrey Police said on Sunday that security measures in the area had been strengthened.
