💬 “I’m a nurse, I finished a night shift, was sat having a cup of coffee before I was due to go to bed, and literally within 10 minutes your house is flooding,” said Paul Jones-King, who criticised his local council for their response to the storm
Paul Jones-King, 47, came home from his shift to find that water had burst through into his home, after the town’s drainage system was unable to cope with heavy rainfall.
He says it’s the second time in three years that Loftus, North Yorkshire, has experienced flooding, which has damaged properties and forced people to flee the area.“I’m a nurse, I finished a night shift, was sat having a cup of coffee before I was due to go to bed, and literally within 10 minutes your house isThe nurse from North Yorkshire has criticised the emergency response of his local authority after his town has been subjected to flooding following the heavy rainfall from Storm Antoni.
The man estimated that around 20 homes had been affected, and had not received support from Redcar council. “It really is down to the Environment Agency to come up with a solution rather than just saying, ‘unfortunately you’re in a flooded area’.” He added: “It’s a real poor response from Redcar and Cleveland Council. There’s no support, they’ve dumped some bags, and that’s it, they’ve gone.He said that it had taken months for the town to recover from floods three years ago, and that more rain forecast over the weekend meant that he felt “stuck in limbo.”
