Fogo Street residents evacuated from the neighbourhood after a mine subsidence caused the ground to sink several inches at the weekend will be forced to spend another night away from home, as the emergency response continues at Wallsend.
Police have taken the lead on a joint operational response that now includes at least two sinkholes in the suburb, after a second opened under a home on Platt Street on Monday, and said in a brief statement that 17 residents of the 40 who were initially evacuated from Fogo Street on Saturday were still displaced on Tuesday.
