Birkdale flooding leaves soaked shoppers fuming

Pensioners and commuters walking to work through Birkdale have been soaked yet again after Liverpool Road flooded

Heavy rain overnight has caused another backlog of standing water near to the Spar supermarket in Birkdale Village and motorists have no choice but to drive through the flooded road soaking anyone who passes by

One resident said “this is a recurring problem and we have been left in the dark by the council and the water board who just don’t want to know.

“Every time we walk to the shops or to the bus stop we get absolutely soaked.”
