A man has been forced to live in a Travelodge after a sinkhole opened up under his home during a series of storms. On February 27, Simon Sugden was woken in the early hours of the morning by firefighters who were evacuating residents of Westlea Avenue, West Yorkshire.
Flood water had caused a landslide which eroded the gardens and left them unstable. Bradford City Council has told Simon it is not safe for him to return home. He has spent the past five days living in a Travelodge and has been told by home insurers he can stay there for another two weeks, reports Yorkshire Live.
"It's been a nightmare. The last few days have been like living in a disaster movie. I don't know whether I'm coming or going."
