'Our pretty village's drowning in mud waterfalls due to a new housing development'
Former social services worker Margaret and husband Michael said the "predictable" flooding was "like a waterfall" in their garden and drive.
The flooding also forced a busy local Co-Op store, a chippy and fruit and veg shop to temporarily close their doors amid Thursday's torrent.Resident Val alleges that she had been told a big tank would be installed on site to help with drainage. "But we found out this hasn’t happened and instead they have put in a new milk crate-like system which isn’t draining the land properly.”
