Derbyshire was one of the counties badly affected by Storm Babet, which caused widespread flooding over the weekend.
A resident looks at a local authority worker collecting damaged furniture from outside a property on Sherwood Street in Chesterfield, as the clean up begins in the aftermath of Storm Babet
Damaged furniture from a property on Sherwood Street in Chesterfield is piled up ready to be collected by the council “I came Saturday to get a few bits for me and my daughter. It was very emotional, I don’t know how to describe it. He said: “I brought the house across the road in February 2007 and in June that year, I had just finished decorating it and then it flooded.
He also shared his fears that the house will take a long time to dry out because of the cold weather. Explaining what happened when the house flooded, he said: “The river is right at the back of the house. “Mick told me to turn the electrics off but it was still classed as live so I had to get out. When I left the house about quarter past three, it was up to my knees.“Yesterday we got here and started pulling carpets up and things like that. The water had lifted the lino clean up in the kitchen and lifted the sofas. The chairs and everything were all over.”
He said: “I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back. The whole place needs to be gutted now. I’ve moved some stuff from upstairs to my mum and dad’s. Some people have offered to put stuff in their garages for me so that’s nice.“It’s the same for everyone here, but it’s not nice when it’s the first time it has happened to you.
