House Left Teetering on the Brink of a Massive Sinkhole 35ft wide 20ft deep
‘I was told everything was all right’: Next-door neighbour to home on edge of huge sinkhole reveals housing association assured her the property was fine when her front porch sank six weeks ago
A woman living next-door to a gigantic sinkhole said she complained her house was sinking dangerously six weeks ago – but her housing association landlords told her ‘everything was all right’.
Call centre worker Carla Rance, 35, had her entire porch demolished after it sank ‘five or six inches’ – but claimed her landlords only sent round specialist insurance assessors after she phoned her MP.
The 35ft wide sinkhole opened up in a suburban cul-de-sac in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, at 7.30am today, forcing 17 houses to be evacuated and leaving one teetering over a 20ft drop.
Two of the houses could have to be demolished.
Mother-of-three Ms Rance told MailOnline: ‘They came and chucked me out in my pyjamas – I just had time to shove on a pair of jeans and a jumper. I was shaking.
