VIDEO: Family hit by floods in Notts village

Roads were feet under water as one family filmed and photographed the flood and its aftermath inside their house.

In these images we show the level of flooding as residents trudged through water at knee-height, and dad Alan Beavis sent in photos and video both during the rains, and as the family assessed the damage to their house.

Vinny Baker, of Tudor Crescent said flooding hit a number of homes on the street although his own home luckily escaped damage.

He added that residents were blaming the neighbouring housing development for causing extra runoff, and claims the builders have not done enough to negate the issue.

He said: "I was fortunate that our house not affected by flooding but the people opposite have had water in their kitchen and their lounge, and a number of houses behind them have had the same.

"There's a lot of anger at the new build due to the water running off the development."

Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service was called to Tudor Crescent in the village near Mansfield with reports that floodwater had entered homes and caused damage to the interiors.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed firefighters from Blidworth attended two flooding related incidents in the Rainworth area last night (Wednesday, June 15 ) after some heavy rain hit the area.

A spokesman said: "The first call came in at 7.52pm and involved flooding at properties on St Peters Drive, Rainworth.

"Crews used a light portable pump to move water – which had also begun to enter a garage - away from the buildings to ensure no electrics were endangered.

"Another call then came in shortly after this incident had been dealt with at 8.29pm. This involved flooding at five properties on Rochester Road, (off Tudor Crescent), Rainworth.

"Firefighters used one major pump, one light portable pump and hose reels to clear water from the properties again to ensure electrics were not endangered. Shovels and buckets were also used in this incident, which had been dealt with by 9.47pm.

"Nobody was injured in either incident."

Developers Taylor and Wimpey were not available for comment.

Clipstone resident Matt Allsop was also caught in flooding on Forest Road on Wednesday, and said: "It was like a river and the main road was totally flooded."
