Families say they have been left trapped inside their own homes after being hit by flooding. And to make matters worse, they say the issue is an annual occurrence.
Rain has hit the Surrey village of Stanwell since last week, reaching its highest levels on Monday. Many living in the area say they were unable to get to work, take their children to school, or even have social visits because of the water.
They say the water swamped their gardens and cars as well as the pavements and roads, reports SurreyLive. Many felt they had been abandoned by Surrey County Council, with one councillor saying the area’s drainage system needed a complete overhaul.
