Major flooding around Stockport.



The roundabout near Bramhall park is under water. My Mrs sister has just rang her to say her house is flooded, she lives near Jackson Lane. The airport relief road is flooded and shut. The M56 near the airport is closed. Tiviot way near Tesco is shut, it's an absolute nightmare.

New year same shit, looks absolutely shocking hope it subsides soon and people don't lose too much stuff or get hurt.
 
My heart goes out to anyone who lives in a flood area. There can't be anything worse than the damage caused by water in your property and add to that the fact that insurers won't touch you with a barge pole after the first time.
 
Looks terrible, needs some major investment in drainage/ flood barriers, some places are going to become almost impossible to get insurance for and almost impossible to sell. It must be soul destroying and takes months and months to clean up.
 
There was talk that the airport relief road hasn't helped as it's diverted a lot of the rainwater into areas that don't normally flood.
My Mrs sister said the company she has house insurance with has offered £250 for emergency accommodation and there is five in their family. Absolute joke.
