People living in Catcliffe 'lost everything' when homes were deluged during Storm Babet, an MP says.
The Environment Agency has been criticised for "unacceptable" delays in issuing flood alerts in part of South Yorkshire during Storm Babet.
Ms Champion, the MP for Rotherham, said there was a "big question" about why residents had not been notified earlier about the risk. Mr Burns, whose home was also swamped during flooding which devastated Catcliffe in 2007, said: "The last time there were a few break-ins and I didn't really feel it was safe to leave it this time.""I didn't feel as if there was enough warning," he added.Gary Marsh, vice-chair of Catcliffe Parish Council and a volunteer flood warden, said the Environment Agency had issued no warnings for the area until late on Friday night.
