The authority has reminded any residents whose homes have flooded that they are eligible for help through the hardship support fund, which offers a one-off payment of £120.

Small or micro businesses with up to 49 employees, whose premises have flooded, will be eligible to apply for an emergency payment of up to £300 to help them cope with the immediate, short-term loss of income.
