Description

Chris Marks, a retired police officer in Didsbury, has been homeless for nearly a year after his apartment flooded on New Years Day. Despite his insurers covering accommodation and repairs, hes faced extensive delays and increased insurance costs. His mental health has suffered, and hes now receiving medical help. Meanwhile, Premier Estates, managing his complex, claims to have provided comparable housing and kept residents updated. However, fifty-seven high consequence flood defenses in Greater Manchester remain below required condition, raising concerns about community protection.
