Several families living in close proximity to Unu Creek, Cullen in Region Two were flooded yesterday afternoon after a severe high tide overtopped the sea defence and gushed into their yards.
Many of them were forced to move their household and electrical belongings to higher ground after the seawater inundated their lower flats.
According to Regional Vice-Chairman Humace Oodit who visited the area at the behest of the residents he was informed that although rip-rap sea defence was recently done in the area, some 300 feet of works is incomplete and this has resulted in the flooding affecting the families.
