One year on, householders and businesses are still struggling to recover from the devastation.
Lynn Shortt’s cottage was one of 130 properties flooded in Attleborough when a stream burst its banks
"We’ve been out of our home for 11 months, the majority of our possessions were lost. Our house has been totally destroyed, ” said Lynn Shortt, whose Norfolk cottage flooded for the fourth time. Since the flood, £37,000 has been spent in Attleborough replacing a grill that catches debris from Besthorpe stream during floods.Henry Cator, from the Norfolk Strategic Flooding Alliance - made up of agencies and partners that plan for and respond to flooding - said the work should make a "huge difference"."More and more houses have been built over the years, but the stream itself has not been modified at all.
“We have no reassurance that this isn’t going to happen again. We are looking at building our own flood defences along with the flood defence work."There isn’t the money, there isn’t the resource and there isn’t the urgency."A shortage of builders means repair work at Debenham Veterinary Practice has ground to a halt
“We have started work with landowners upstream of communities that were flooded, looking for opportunities for land management changes.
