FLOOD VICTIMS 'STRUGGLING TO COPE' WITH SOARING INSURANCE BILLS IN ENGLAND

-
After last year's wettest winter on record, many of those whose homes were damaged by flood water are struggling to pay their soaring insurance bills.
Philip Maye had just finished renovating his home on the Somerset Levels when the flood hit. The water was more than 3ft (1m) deep and remained for three weeks. It was a nightmare for the 63-year-old and his wife Maria, but the financial pain was only just beginning.










Months after the country was battered by a series of ferocious storms, many of the victims are facing "impossible" insurance bills. Some, like Mr Maye, who was flooded in February, cannot even get a quote for flood cover.
"We lost a lot and have had to replace it at our own cost. We live in trepidation every time it rains and everyone [in the area] has horror stories about insurance going up," he said.
