Flooded Families On The Wirral
Families living in parts of the Wirral have been forced to leave their homes after flooding. A stream burst its banks and people in Moreton had to spend Wednesday night in temporary accomodation. A flood alert is still in place for the Rivers Fender and Birkett and Rivacre, Dibbinsdale and Arrowe Brooks.
Magenta Housing have released the following statement:
"Magenta Living has arranged transport to collect our tenants from their overnight accommodation to take them back to their homes to collect anything they may need.
Accommodation has been booked for a second night for the evacuated tenants and Magenta Living has started the process of inspecting their homes.
It is not yet possible to say when tenants’ homes will be fit for them to return but Magenta Living will have more information when the inspections are complete.
Magenta Living is currently carrying out one-to-one interviews with affected tenants to understand their needs and to establish what help, if any, they require." Our reporter Roisin Hastie has been to see some of the damage. Click below to hear more:
