   A huge sinkhole in a street is Surrey is continuing to grow and swallow up more road, with the county council declaring a major incident.

   The original hole first appeared in Godstone High Street late on Monday night, growing to at least 65ft (20m) long by Tuesday lunchtime.

   A second opening has now appeared, with a car teetering on the brink and the owner unable to move it.

   Families have been evacuated from their homes over fears of an explosion caused by exposed cables, with one resident saying the street now "sounded like a waterfall".

     The evacuated properties were built about three years ago, on the site of a former sand quarry.

     @HebrideanHecate @Flick There'll be an enquiry.
     "Lessons will be learned."
     The people who cocked up will take a spin in the revolving door.
     Business as usual.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @Flick A great many of the new estates being built in central belt and etc areas are on flood plains, some also in Highland. There is also no proper or very little anyway housing association builds, just fly by night private wanks who are all crooked. "Affordable" homes my arse.

     @HebrideanHecate @Flick Housing is one of the biggest sectors for corruption, especially with local authorities.
