A man has spoken of how his property has been flooded 26 times since 2016 after new homes were built on his street.
As with scores of homes across Shropshire, Maurice Evans from Bridgnorth saw his garage and driveway flooded during Storm Babet at the weekend.
He says the issue has been caused by an overflow pipe, that was damaged when the new properties will built opposite Mr Evans' bungalow by builder Spellar Metcalfe. "When they built the house they put in this macerator pump as the homes could not be connected to the existing sewage system. He said after years of battling the relevant authorities, he finally got drainage engineers at Shropshire Council to admit the problem was theirs.
Speller Metcalfe declined to comment but Shropshire Council said that due to the location of Mr Evans' property there were"limited options" to rectify the drainage problems.
