Update February 2026 - one year on from the Godstone road collapse
Highways Officers are continuing to tackle the large road collapse that appeared suddenly overnight on Godstone High Street in Surrey, on 17 February 2025.
Following the ground opening up and a major incident being declared, the collapsed road and pavements were made safe, and infrastructure for utility services was temporarily repaired, allowing residents to return home and pedestrians to use the area. However, the discovery of a large, 19th century underground mine network in June 2025, has meant the final reconstruction of the High Street has not yet been able to get underway.
Filling and stabilising the mine network remains the focus of operations on site with over 667 tonnes of grout being pumped in 125 holes to depths of up to 15 metres below ground level to stabilise the area, with further mine tunnels continuing to be discovered.
Find out more about works on site in the video update below from David White, Infrastructure Schemes Team Manager.
