Residents fear their Cheshire streets could be left 'uninhabitable' in 30 years

Tens of thousands of properties in Cheshire are at risk of being rendered uninhabitable by flooding within 30 years a new report has found.

Streets across the country could be left unlivable due to rising sea levels by the year 2050, with areas of Halton and Warrington particularly vulnerable, according to the study, conducted by academics at the University of East Anglia.

Overall up to 11,000 homes in Cheshire are among 160,000 across England that the report published in the journal Oceans And Coastal Management says are at risk of being lost.
