Dozens evacuated as Storm Christoph floods parts of UK

The residents of Bewdley are facing repeated flooding, with temporary barriers failing due to intense rainfall. Many have been displaced, and their homes have been damaged multiple times. The government has announced a £5 billion plan to tackle flooding, but residents are frustrated with delays and are urging for immediate action. The west side of Bewdley has a permanent defense, but the east side is still vulnerable. Various solutions are being considered, but technical feasibility is yet to be determined. The focus on COVID-19 has further delayed progress, and residents are calling on the government to prioritize flood defenses.
