The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, sending reporters to cover developing stories and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and investigations. In February, a massive sinkhole in Godstone, Surrey, led to the evacuation of 30 households after a street collapsed. Repair teams discovered abandoned Victorian sand mining tunnels beneath the ground in June. Engineers have identified a burst water main but have not confirmed whether the burst caused the sinkhole; investigations have taken months and used multiple techniques.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
For the past six months, repair workers in the village of Godstone have been trying to solve the mystery of its cause. However, they say they are still not ready to blame the burst for the appearance of the hole. They uncovered a network of abandoned Victorian sand mining tunnels under the ground in June, which residents had been aware of for decades.
