A public meeting about the Godstone road collapse will take place next month.

In February, part of the road collapsed in the High Street forcing 30 families to leave their homes and some businesses to close.  Most households and businesses have returned but local disruption continues while the investigations and repair is in operation.  The public meeting will provide an update about the work that has taken place, and outline the plan and timeline for repairing the road. 

It has been arranged for Thursday 5th June at 6.30 pm at St Nicholas Youth Centre in Godstone and will be led jointly by Tandridge District Council and Surrey County Council Highways.

Surrey Fire & Rescue Service has issued a warning to the public saying there is a “heightened risk” of wildfires in the county.

The service is asking the public ” to leave disposable barbecues at home, avoid setting up campfires on open areas”.

They also advise to call 999 to report a wildfire if they saw one, and not assume someone else had already called it in.

In April a grass fire at Box Hill caused by four disposable barbecues damaged the popular spot, putting wildlife and people at risk.
