More funding for flood-hit businesses in Carmarthenshire has been proposed.
Recent rising flood waters forced the residents of some of the houses on Teifi Terrace, Newcastle Emlyn to evacuate once again. For most in Teifi Terrace the worst effects were averted by the flood barriers that they themselves had installed since the severe flooding of Storm Callum in 2018. In addition to flood barriers and sandbags, purchased and loaned pumps were employed as soon as the water started to come into their homes. After much help from families and friends, all bar one were back in their homes within 48 hours. “The damage would have been much worse if we had not taken measures ourselves,” said Colin Davies who moved into the terrace when he was a child, with his mother in 1963.
