2007 flood victims still waiting

Two years and four months after the July 2007 Severn and Avon floods, at least half a dozen households are still waiting for repairs to their properties to be completed, the Sunday Times reports.

A number have only recently moved back into their homes, but can only use part of their property while refurbishment continues on the rest. At least one person is still living in a caravan in the grounds of her ruined cottage.

Several more are waiting for final building work.

Bureaucratic planning or insurance disputes are blamed for the delays.

Several examples of negative publicity for insurers are included.
