BBC Radio 4 - File on 4, After The Flood

What happens to those families hit by devastating floods when the waters recede?

The Yorkshire village of Fishlake was hit by devastating floods last year, but what happens to those families affected when the water recedes?

Few who saw the pictures of the devastating floods which hit the Yorkshire village of Fishlake will forget those images of houses and fields sunk beneath the waters of the River Don. But who knows what life looks like for the residents after the water has receded? Reporter Anna Cavell discovers a village fighting not only to get back into their homes, but also trying to find out what can protect them if the waters return.
 Delays to insurance claims and businesses struggling to get back to work are some of the everyday tasks facing the village. But with many not expected to return to their homes for many months, will the close knit community of Fishlake village ever recover?
