Residents have shared their concerns
after a Nottinghamshire street where a major waterpipe was damaged earlier this year was flash flooded. Those living near High Road and Chilwell Road, in Chilwell, experienced a flash flood in afternoon of Sunday, June 18, leaving residents "scared".
Sue and Brian Jones haved lived on Lime Grove, a street of High Road, for 18 months, and had chosen the spot as their retirement home. Mrs Jones, 72, said: "The images of the High Road are awful. We were at home panicking because we knew the drains [in the streets] were blocked. "We're so frustrated about this. We've only been here 18 months in our house and it's our sort of retirement house, now look what we're facing along with everybody else."
Local businesses have also shared their opinions. Callum Tighe owns Levi’s Barbershop in Chilwell Road. The 26-year-old had gone to the shop to do some maintenance work when he was hit with the floods.
