The sinkhole that remains one year on

It has now been 365 days and counting since a sinkhole appeared in the Surrey village of Godstone.

One year on, Godstone High Street is still closed and repair works remain ongoing, with residents and businesses alike asked to show patience.

Hopes that the street could reopen in December have since been pushed back until spring, as Surrey County Council insists that this requires "more than just the repair of a road".

Peter O'Connell, rector of St Nicholas Church in the village, admits it has been a "very strange year".
