Daphne said she was proud of her garden, which had taken her years to grow, but the drainage issues had left it “completely ruined”.
“It’s heart-breaking,” she said. “A lot of the plants my husband had grown for me. I’d had them for years, it was a part of him still in my garden and it’s gone.”
Daphne said flooding was not a problem she or her neighbours had faced until recently, but now her garden filled up “as soon as it rains”.
Unable to use her toilet or shower without causing more problems, she has moved out to stay with relatives until the problem is solved.
