A pop in event took place last week at the site office of the Godstone road collapse to update residents on the repairs.
In February, two sinkholes appeared in Godstone High Street; local disruption continues while the investigations and repairs are in operation.
Our reporter, Neil Munday, spoke with Lloyd Allen, Assistant Director for Network Management at Surrey County Council, about the next phase of works to reinstate the water supply and re-lay the pipework.
You can hear the full interview here for updates about the ongoing works, repairs and the timeline:

Redhill Library reopened on Saturday in its former home at the Warwick Quadrant.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council’s Arts Takeover ran several events in the library to coincide with the reopening including storytelling, drawing and clay modelling workshops.
The Local History Society has returned to the building and now has its own space on the top floor.
Redhill Library has undergone a full refurbishment and works to address the RAAC concrete which was first discovered in the building two years ago. The project has been supported by the Council through their Community Infrastructure Levy funding.

The refurbishment of the Boots Outpatient Pharmacy at East Surrey Hospital has been completed.
New seating has been installed in the store for patients who need to wait. Screens in the pharmacy and the main entrance to the hospital show when medication is ready to collect using an electronic prescription tracker. A new consultation room provides a space for confidential conversations with a pharmacist.
Starting with patients on some long term anti cancer treatments, a text messaging service will soon be introduced to notify patients when their medication is ready for collection, either from the Boots pharmacy at the hospital or an alternative location.
Crawley Borough Council has submitted its preferred option for Local Government Reorganisation.
Its preference is for two unitary authorities in West Sussex, one of which would cover the current Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex council areas. Both Crawley Borough and West Sussex County Council would cease to exist.
The recommendation was made at last week’s Full Council meeting following engagement work undertaken during the Summer.
Meanwhile the County Council has expressed a preference for a single unitary authority covering the whole of West Sussex.
The Government will assess the submissions before launching a consultation on the options that it decides to take forward to the next stage.
