Tandridge District Council said on Friday that one household, whose property is not near the sinkhole, has been allowed to return home.
A sinkhole appeared in Godstone, Surrey, leading to the evacuation of 30 households. Tandridge District Council is assessing whether residents can return, with one household already allowed back due to their property's safety. Residents and businesses have criticized the council for insufficient information and support. A councillor apologized and acknowledged the stress caused. The sinkhole is linked to historical sandpits, and structural experts are assessing the site. Repairs may take months, and a second sinkhole was reported nearby.
