New figures show that more than 5,000 households are still displaced
More than 10,000 people have yet to return home following last summer’s floods, according to figures obtained by BBC Radio 5 Live.
The radio station based the estimate upon figures from local authorities, but said the actual number could be even higher because some people may have not notified the authorities of their position.
The problems have been exacerbated by a shortage of skilled workers.
The floods generated £3 billion in insurance claims, the ABI has estimated.
