It was 'devastation' and 'heartbreak' yet again for flood victims in Leigh after waist-high water filled with human waste wreaked havoc on their homes.
Heavy rainfall from the thunderstorm on Monday night (June 12) left those on the Higher Folds Estate wading through water which breached recently installed flood defences. Many in Sterling Close have lost everything once more, just like they did back in 2021 when Storm Christoph caused flash flooding.
Sue Andrews, who was evacuated from her home two-years-ago due to the floods, said she doesn't want to spend another six months in the Greyhound Hotel - she wants a new council house.
