Up to 100 homes have been flooded in Wirral, in England, and many have been forced to evacuate, after "a month's rain fell in 48 hours". The worst affected area was in Moreton where rain burst the banks of River Fender and the River Birket, which were already at high levels. Residents have heavily criticised the lack of response from Wirral Council and the Environment Agency in dealing with the floods.
