A woman in Trafford, England, is facing a heartbreaking start to the new year after severe flooding destroyed her home and salon.
A woman in Trafford has had her home and salon ruined by severe flooding. Nikki Campion, 56, has been left devastated after her Urmston home and salon, Nikki & Co, has been hit by the severe New Year's floods. Nikki, who lives with her 61-year-old husband Matt, said that she feels let down by the Environment Agency after reporting several issues with the Old Eea Brook in the five years they have lived there. She said: 'I am devastated, absolutely devastated.
We have lost everything, beds, furniture the lot, everything is ruined. We will have to start all over again somehow.' Since the flooding yesterday, the couple have managed to clear the water with the help of around 20 other people, but have been left with a 'devastating mess'. Other houses in the community have been badly affected, with Nikki's next door neighbour's house still being submerged. She said: 'Yesterday morning we got the usual text that there was a flood alert but we get them all the time. At 8 o clock the house was surrounded by water, within an hour it came in the house and was rising and rising.' However, the grandmother of three is not surprised by the floods, saying that the brook was just a 'danger waiting to happen'. Nikki claims to have reported issues with the brook since they first moved there, stating that it is full of silt and needs to be cleaned but allegedly has seen 'no action in three years'. She said: 'I just feel like the environmental agency has let us down massively. We've reported issues with the brook since we've lived here and have a log of all contact. They came out a few weeks ago but said there was not much they could do because it was such a mess. They have done nothing about it.' Nikki has appealed on Facebook for help, asking people in the local community to assist in any way - from donating spare bin bags to dehumidifier
