Homeowners and families in part of Nottinghamshire have been 'battling to stop flood water entering their homes' after heavy downpours hit the county. People living on Thoresby Dale, Hucknall, have been affected by flooding over recent years and the heavy rain hit again on Monday (October 31).
Officials from the Ashfield Independent party said "residents have been battling to stop flood water entering their homes". The Ashfield Independent team contacted emergency chiefs at Nottinghamshire County Council to ask them to assist people affected, bring sandbags and do everything they can to assist residents.
Councillor John Wilmott, who represents Hucknall North for the Ashfield Independents on Ashfield District Council, said: “This is devastating for residents and, as soon as we found out, we contacted the emergency team at County Hall. We have been on site – assisting residents."
