Manchester City Council has announced more support for local communities affected by the severe flooding on New Year's Day.

More than 1,000 individuals were evacuated after heavy rain caused the River Mersey to reach a 66-year high and the city’s canals to spill over.

Council officers are this week visiting affected residents to share advice on disposal of contaminated household items, food and water safety, and insurance claims.

Council leader Bev Craig praised the ‘resilience and bravery’ of those affected.

‘The stress and upset caused by such an event should never be underestimated, and we know it continues to be a distressing time for those affected,’ she said.

‘I want to reassure people that the council is on hand to provide support and guidance to anyone who needs it.’
