The meeting took place on Wednesday and involved around 100 residents who live in roads around the Gill that could be affected by the landslip, which the council admits is still moving.
Ralitsa Hiteva’s family have been forced to leave their Foxcote home after tonnes of earth crashed into their garden just yards away from their door.
She attended the meeting and said: “The meeting started badly. We had not been told what to expect and the first thing they did was hand us a six page document that we had no time to read. They did not even have enough copies to go round as it was clear they were not expecting so many people to be there.
"At the start they made it clear that they did not want the meeting recorded in any way and that it would not go ahead if recorded.
"Their modelling suggested it started in people’s gardens and yet they can provide no evidence that can explain that. It is actually mind boggling. They are blaming us for the landslide yet there are so many witnesses who say it started with cracks on the paths in the Gill, which they own.
"We asked them what maintenance is carried out in the Gill and they said it was inspected twice a year to check the signage, with the last inspection taking place in September 2023.
"They kept making platitudes, but these are just words. There was a feeling that this was not the case. They were going back to their nice warm homes and yet there were people in that meeting who are unable to sleep at night for worry. It was heartbreaking.
"People were angry. The Council admitted that communication could have been better, but the general feeling is that it is not a communications issue.
