Flooded home unsafe for twin babies, says Lincolnshire dad

Rick Huddleston, who also lives in Pointon, had to pump water out of his house.

He said he was “frustrated and angry” to see the community affected again.

“It’s unnecessary to have found ourselves in this position,” he added.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire County Council said the authority carried out regular work on the drains for which it was responsible, while also reminding landowners of their duties.

“We investigate every instance of internal flooding in Lincolnshire to look at the causes and make recommendations for how flooding could be prevented in the future,” the spokesperson added.

“If these recommendations fall under our responsibility, we will look to carry them out, but they may also be for other agencies or local landowners.”
