Sarah Lewis, who lives on William Way and was evacuated from her home along with her two daughters aged four and six, said she felt “extremely stressed” about the uncertainty surrounding when she may be allowed back to her home and where her family will live in the meantime.
The 36-year-old said on Thursday that the council have told her it could be between two to four months until the family may be able to return home.
Carl Bussey, Surrey County Council assistant director for safer communities and chairman of the strategic co-ordination group for the incident said: “We’re well aware that the longer this incident continues, the greater the disruption for residents impacted.
Dana Hussein, 39, who owns a barber shop on Godstone High Street said he was “worried” about the impact of the sinkhole on his business and that, so far this week, he has only had a few customers as people are staying away from the area.
“We are so worried because the council said it may take nearly six months to fix, three to six months.
