Around 100 angry residents packed a public meeting on Friday calling for urgent measures to combat flooding misery.
A number of Perth residents and businesses have suffered severe flooding three times in two years - most recently in September - causing up to tens of thousands of pounds’ worth of damage and some unable to get insurance.
Flood victims shared their plight at a public meeting at Craigie and Moncreiffe Church Hall and told how:
- some have been refused insurance, or watched premiums spiral into thousands
- an 83-year-old man had to be rescued from rising floodwater
- residents had nowhere to turn for help as homes were engulfed
- blocked drains were reported to the council three weeks before flooding.
