Christmas cancelled for family as giant sinkhole floods their home
family has had their Christmas "cancelled" as a giant sinkhole has flooded their home.Nick Clarke, 49, says the problem at his home in Macclesfield, Cheshire, has been going on for four years and means that whenever there is heavy rain, the cellar gets flooded with up to five feet of water.He says that recently the problems have returned greater than before, following Cheshire East Council’s ‘temporary fix’ for the sinkhole last month, CheshireLive reports. Nick claims this has happened five times in the last five weeks – damaging property, threatening the electrics and on one occasion, requiring a visit from firefighters.
