Flood repair costs have risen to pounds 40m.
(From The Journal)
Byline: Dave Black
THE cost of the Morpeth floods has hit pounds 40m - with 1,000 people still kept from returning to their homes.
Hundreds of families, pensioner couples and single people remain in temporary accommodation around Morpeth, Northumberland, more than three months after the town was deluged when the River Wansbeck burst its banks.
And the estimated cost of repairs to the market town now stands at up to pounds 40m.
Many of the families flooded out of their homes on September 6 face a wait of months before they can return.
Council bosses will decide next month whether the homelessness problem caused by the catastrophe requires them to open up temporary caravan parks.
