A homeowner was forced to escape his flooded home on a raft during Storm Babet and claims he was 'never told' there was a chance it would flood.

Chris Lloyd, 55, had to leave his home in the Catcliffe area of Rotherham, South Yorks,. on Friday.

More than 250 homes were evacuated from the village, where around 2,000 people live, and many local residents have been forced to stay with family or in hotels.

Pictures taken from the scene today (October 24) show workers from Rotherham Council helping residents clear out their properties - now the 6ft high water has gone.
