Coronavirus lockdown families forced to live upstairs only in 'double hell'

mirror.co.uk:

Flood victims are suffering a “double hell” after being forced to self-isolate in damaged homes or made to move into tiny bedsits.

Families in areas like Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, were still reeling from the destruction of their homes when the coronavirus pandemic struck.

Now insurance claims and building work have all come to a halt and they have been left “in limbo”. Some are living in the upstairs of their homes, with little furniture and bare walls, while others were moved into temporary bedsits.

The town was struck by floods on February 9 after a month’s worth of rain fell in 24 hours. One of those hit badly by the flood water was Topshop manager Hannah Flood, 38, who lives with partner David, 38, a painter and decorator.
