Survey plea for victims of south Shropshire floods
Monday 14th June 2010, 10:47AM BST.
Shropshire flood victims hit by escalating home insurance costs can help influence government policy by taking part in a national on-line survey.
Bosses at the National Flooding Forum today urged people in Ludlow and Tenbury to take part in the survey after devastating flooding three years ago.
The survey has been launched by the forum, the charity that will represent flood victims in a special government-led insurance summit later this summer.
“With one in six properties in the UK now officially at risk of flooding, many home owners are caught in an insurance trap,” said Mary Dhonau, the NFF chief executive.
“If they can find insurance at all, they face hefty premiums and huge excesses even if they have never flooded.
“This survey will help to give us a true picture of the genuine human cost of swingeing premiums. ”
