Keep up coverage of flood toll – aftermath a real struggle

I wanted to say a huge thank you and well done for keeping the flooding in the spotlight in your publication.

I’ve just been reading the article about Caleb Alex and his experience (Observer, 17 March) and, as a fellow “Milford flood victim” my heart goes out to him.

We are now on our fourth house since the floods. That in itself is a real struggle – to find anywhere to live. While the flood itself was devastating, dealing with the aftermath of the clean-up, the housing issue, the council and the insurance is a daily battle I just wasn’t prepared for. You really have to struggle and battle to get yourself heard and get any progress.

So please keep on reporting on these issues as it’s really important to keep this issue in the public eye.
