An underground tunnel has been located eight metres underneath Godstone High Street, which collapsed in February this year.

As part of their borehole testing, Highways Officers used a manual camera to identify the void which will now be subject to specialist surveys from today, to establish its exact length and position, as well as its relevance to ongoing investigations and plans to repair the area.

Other investigations remain ongoing including those being carried out by SES Water into the pipe that originally burst.

Local residents and business owners are continuing to be updated regularly, with Highways Officers available on-site every day.
