AFTER THE FLOODS IN THE UK - JASMIN CAN STILL SMILE AFTER FLOODS RUIN HER HOME BUT WHERE IS HELP ?

Let's explore the aftermath of the floods in Collingham Nottinghamshire and how people are coping with the destruction of their homes. Meet Jasmin, who has been left homeless due to the 2024 floods and is currently dealing with the impact. Her home has been severely damaged, and she's struggling as there has been no assistance from the council or the government yet.

God Bless all you people suffering from these floods , I hope the government has the balls to help you all out.

[@hugobosswood9002]

Governments and councils are only interesting in making money rather than spending it these days!

[@carolinedodsworth6481]

Back in 2007 we got flooded in house we had no help from anyone only my family and my husband .and my daughter

[@lindaberg9161]

Oh Jasmine....God bless you....through the stress of it all....the government sounds like ours here in S.A........I pray you and your daughter get all the help financially and physically....keeping you and all in prayer....😢

[@sarahann530]

God is causing the rain ,what will your prayers do ?

I used to live in the bungalow opposite, have seen many floods over the years. Buyers/renters were not given the full information about what can happen. They are not nicknamed the ‘bog cottages’ for nothing. So sorry for the residents. 2000 flood was bad and all these cottages flooded badly then and were evacuated.

Here in Australia after a series of floods over the last decade it quickly became apparent assistance from the government is - limited. It was up to the people themselves to help their neighbours, the " Mud Army" Spend weeks, months, cleaning up then battle with your insurance company , receive your insurance policy renewal , a friend of mine was asked to pay an increase of %800 !

500 pound is just pocket money to the Government. Bless you Jasmin…..I hope you and others in the same position get loads of help and money to really help xx

Glad Jasmine is of good health, me being disabled couldn't cope at all, my house many years ago was flooded by someone putting my hose pipe through my letterbox when i was alot younger and fit and healthy,got back to house to be greeted with about 3 inches of water, so now i always remember to switch off hose pipe tap under the sink,i know what it feels like and what flood victims are going through😧

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

[@helenbosworth5950]

Hope you get all the help you can and funds so terrible

[@wthomas4113]

Hey NeilR. Wanted to say a massive thank you for the coverage.

[@neilrgreatestadventures]

Thank you 🙏

[@gold-diggersanonymous1085]

with Collingham being 24m above sea level, surely the government could do way more to make sure future flooding is avoided.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Im so Sorry Jasmine, glad your in good health & good spirit, i doubt if youll get much if Any help from this government, its given too much to other countries.

[@user-lg5mw4ru2m]

what a shame !!

I just wonder how long the insurance companies are going to put up with the constant flooding in areas where extreme conditions like this become the norm. The Environment Agency and the government haven't bothered with the rivers for decades. You have trees growing in the rivers and masses of silt build up, which I've seen myself, and this causes the river to become slow flowing which then causes the water to back up. The farmers have been warning EA and the state about these issues, but nothing ever gets done. Even if the EA and the government spend multi-millions on flood defence schemes, there's no guarantee that it will work effectively in the long term. How many flood defence schemes have failed in the decades past, a few...

[@alybridgwater3282]

There are people that have been flooded and cannot get insurance or it's got to expensive because the insurance companies think you are a high risk area in the future I think some places people will not be able to live there anymore also alot of houses should not have been built on flood plains because the water has no where to go

[@dr.impossibleofcounterpunc1984]

@alybridgwater3282 I often wonder why the EA and concessive governments haven't taken action over the rivers. It seems like logic has been suspended, and many backwards steps have been carried out! The EA works with universities with impact studies, etc... Once the academics say something, it's like the word of God. Nothing changes the facts as said by the academics. The real people who work and live on the land get ignored. That being the farmers and those affected by flooding. That's the way it's always been, for the most part. And probably will continue.

[@janinebryan9142]

£500 😮 wouldn't even buy a carpet , if this was another country we'd be helping, why has no one offered to help these people absolutely disgusting.

[@andybailey9347]

I know what it's like for her 😢 Live just up the road from there. Anything I can do?

[@kevindarkstar]

There is no chance the government will be there to help, only time they are there is when they inforce restrictions like lockdown, they don't have a problem with that 🤨

[@ThemessengersRevelation]

So everyone has now a free swimming pool in their back gardens, but the house is sad to see, shameful £500 that is nothing to fix things a carpet is £500

[@Irraticdriving]

I feel for you

[@Is_rose1234]

Bless her Jasmine has more chance of santa and his elfs helping her than the government helping her. £500 Jasmine that's your chair paid for as for the rest the cooker, washing machine etc etc well good luck that's what our government is saying to Jasmine. When the council flooded my house I was told well you should've had insurance they don't care

[@lindawatmore3321]

Sadly the waterway’s are not being dredged and they silted up to affect the depth and flow of water and cut backs over time to maintain the ditches and dykes and rivers that are now not being maintained and therefore increasing buildings on land and drainage into rivers are responsible for the flooding failure of farmland and maintenance of ditches and dykes which was maintained by the labour forces of farmers and people living on the land in lied cottages and working the land to be replaced by modern machinery that does not maintain and hedges and ditches and drainage from roads and excessive new buildings of houses to continue to create new flood water issues

[@kevindarkstar]

Is there any historical cases of flooding in the area, or is this an extreme situation?

[@GrrMeister]

Watch 10:30 happened many times in the past for Hundreds of Years

[@kevindarkstar]

@@GrrMeister so basically the area is a known flood risk is what your saying, in which case the old maxim of "let the buyer beware" springs to mind

[@Irraticdriving]

Everyone sd now put money jewellery legal items/ documents all upstairs ie blankets, spare food, etc

[@PTSTEH20]

Most likely be every 10 years soon

[@Irraticdriving]

Hope yo.all get refunds

[@skybrown1931]

[@margaretvennettsmith7613]

Nothing can be done whilst we are paying out 6m£ a day for migrants and this under Sunak's watch. Get rid of him. Ive had this 4 times

[@Silks-]

no insurance? Don’t see why the taxpayer should foot the bills
