DENBIGHSHIRE County Council is working with Welsh Government to support residents who have recently had their homes flooded during Storm Christoph.

Areas such as Clwyd Street in Ruthin were badly hit and homes were evacuated on January 20.

The Council is currently seeking further details of the fund Welsh Government is making available for eligible residents but Welsh Government have announced the proposed payment will be £500 with an additional £500 for those without insurance cover.

In the meantime Denbighshire householders whose homes have recently been flooded are encouraged to contact the Council’s Contact Centre on 01824 706000 to log their contact details.

Cllr Brian Jones, the Council’s Lead Member for Waste, Transport and the Environment, said: “Our thoughts are with residents who have been affected by the recent severe weather and flooding.

“We want to reassure them we are working closely with Welsh Government and encourage residents to get in touch with the Council to log details, so we can contact them once more details are released.”
