A business owner in flood-stricken Downpatrick has pleaded for more support to repair the town centre after her shop and several others were “completely submerged in water”.
On Sunday evening the PSNI said some diversions remained in place around the town. The Belfast Road and Bridge Street areas will remain closed between 7pm and 10pm on Sunday night while Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service carry out their clean-up operation. “The road is so dangerous and the paths are really dangerous because, the water’s gone, but the oil has now settled onto the footpaths and roads which is a slipping hazard.
She estimates she has lost around £7,000 worth of stock and around £30,000 of equipment due to the flooding. “We’ve lost everything, we’ve lost our floor, we’ve lost the curtains, there were hats and gloves that were still left, all our padded hangers are gone.” The powersharing impasse means there are no elected ministers in place at Stormont to take the lead on the response to the floods, and Ms Douglas said the town has been “left with no answers”.“Where’s anyone coming to the town who can try and help the people that are standing in Downpatrick waiting for an answer?She added that she is hoping the UK Government will stand up for the business owners and residents in Downpatrick and “help us out”.
