companies who lost trade. Bdn Sidwell reports. The water lay have | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
long gone, but the damage it caused is still very much evident `t this | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
hotel in Worcester. Here thdy had to shut for two and half weeks due to | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
the floods. I cannot give you an exact figure, but it is thotsands | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
and thousands, enough to catse real hardship for me and my business | :00:49. | :00:51. | |

Council. When we get it it will be a great help, but it is a question of, | :01:02. | :01:05. | |

help now, to help them deal with the immediate clean`up and recovery | :01:10. | :01:17. | |

photos taken during the height of the floods show just how bad things | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
were around Detroit's restatrant compared to now. We were hugely | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
affected, we had to lay off a lot of staff. On a busy night we do 18 | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
covers. That week, not more than 20. The county council says bushnesses | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
like this, that were affectdd but not actually flooded, could still | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
receive up to ?1,500. But unless some get the money soon, thd fear is | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
they may not still be trading when it eventually arrives. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Relatives of some of the 21 people killed in the 1974 Birmingh`m pub | :02:00. | :02:04. | |

authorities is our voice. And we will continue, what ever barriers | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
and doors are put up in front of us, as a campaign, we will have to try | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
and walk through them or delolish them, because I will not give up | :02:46. | :02:47. | |

Time for the weather, with Sara Good afternoon. We started off very | :03:10. | :03:22. | |

been breaking through. More cloud further north and a weather front | :04:27. | :04:27. |
