Residents of Cedar Close in Basingstoke struggled to leave their houses after their street became an ice-rink. The road is still flooded, which they say is putting the lives of families in further misery at the end of a difficult year. Despite several complaints to councillors and Hampshire County Council, residents say there has been no permanent solution to the flooding problem. There was an ice rink in front of Nathalie Menicou’s house on Christmas, which made it impossible to get her car out on the only day she was allowed to see her family. Ms. Menicou, a registered nurse who is already stressed at her work because of the rise in coronavirus cases, has further been affected by the flood.
