Villagers' anger after houses flood againpublished at 17:39 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2019

BBC News OnlineA number of houses have been flooded in a Nottinghamshire village following heavy rains.
John Smith, the parish clerk of Egmanton, said at least one of his neighbours had had to move in to a hotel because about two feet of water had flooded their home, and five out of six homes on his street are flooded.
He added today he found out they have "finally" bought the land for a dry reservoir to stop this kind of flooding happen again.
But he said the village was "extremely angry" about the flooding after so many years of trying to stop it.
Media caption, Homes flooded after heavy rain
Mr Smith said they started to look for solutions after bad flooding in 2007, when about 25% of the village ended up having to leave their homes for six months.
"Seeing this makes me feel terrible," he said.
"A lot of people in the village are extremely nervous because of what happened last time."
Mike Pringle, a local councillor, said he "couldn't believe" the speed flood waters rose, leaving the centre of the village beneath up to 16in (40cm) of water.
