Families say that it was the worst that they had ever seen
FAMILIES are calling for a council to unblock drains in their street as they start cleaning up after a heavy flood.
Residents in Munro Street in the West End area of Stoke say Friday's rain led to the worst floods they have ever seen.
Now they are calling for Stoke-on-Trent City Council to unblock the drains to prevent it happening on that scale again.
Kev Freakley, aged 64, said: "I have never seen it like that before. The drains are just blocked.
"I grew up in this street and I remember it back in the 1970s. They used to get the vacuum trucks out all the time.
"I had a bit of flood water in the house. We need the council to come out and clean the drains properly.
"I have never seen it like that. You can see the mud, debris and leaves on London Road. The frustration is we seem to be paying more and more but getting nothing for it."
