A year after floods damaged almost 100 homes in East Yorkshire, some residents have still not returned to their homes.
Resident Kevin Lorryman's home was completely engulfed in 9ft (3m) of flood water, and he is still living in rented accommodation.
He said he is locked in negotiations with his insurance company over a claim to have the house rebuilt.
"They [the insurance company] are saying it can be renovated, but we say it needs to be rebuilt," he said.
"It is green inside. We are sat in a situation where we think they know it's coming down, but we just have to provide the evidence."
