6 October 2020, from Bernie Webster in Crabtree Lane Burscough “The water began to rise around 8.30 am. My main diesel pump was working from 9am through to around 2.20 pm nonstop but it was not enough to save the interior.

“I have taken several videos which show quite conclusively that the water cannot get into the watercourse because of the height and the lack of capacity in the culverts. But now I need to get the water off the wood floor before it swells”.

Again! And again! Just when will the seemingly congenital idiots with the responsibility to stop homes being destroyed actually do their jobs?
