Several homes have been destroyed as a result of flash flooding across the region which has left streets underwater on Christmas Eve.

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service were deployed across the county on Wednesday night (December 23) to close roads and assist during the rainfall.

“Not only will they have the turmoil and heartache of cleaning and replacing items.

“But as someone who works in insurance, I know it will be very difficult to cover flood on their house insurance until there has been some work done to stop this from happening again.

“I cannot urge Fenland District Council enough to take action to help these people who pay good money in taxes to have their properties protected from flooding.

“My thoughts and love are with those all affected.”
