People hit by last week’s deluge have been able to start proper clean-ups after an end to the heavy rain that has caused so much misery since last week.

Speaking in the House of Commons yesterday, Prime Minister Gordon Brown pledged to do everything in the Government’s power to help those hit by flooding in the county.
