The Fire Brigade, the council and the Environment Agency worked overnight to clear the flooding and support affected residents.
Five fire engines helped pump out floodwater and the council’s rest centre supported 20 residents.
This morning, Point Place, Tokyngton Avenue, and Argenta Way reopened and families affected by the flooding in Tokyngton Avenue were able to return to their homes. The rest centre has now closed.
With more rain expected this weekend, the Environment Agency, supported by the council, is working around-the-clock to bolster the flood preventative measures in the area, ensuring that three industrial pumps and more hoses remain in the area ready to deploy if required.
