Belfast homes flooded after 'manhole blocked by baby wipes and grease'

A number of homes off the Lisburn Road were flooded following heavy rain as the drains were blocked by baby wipes and grease.

Belfast City Council and NI Water were called to Great Northern Street in South Belfast shortly after 5pm on Tuesday, May 18, after water and sewage entered a number of properties after drains overflowed in heavy rain.

Sandbags were provided to the residents to try and keep the water at bay, although it still managed to enter some of the houses.
