Dramatic images from a caravan park show homes completely submerged by floodwater, with residents evacuated from the area following a ‘danger to life’ warning. Many people have been left fearing for their lives after they were told to evacuate Proctors Pleasure Park in Leicestershire – the area at the centre of the ‘danger to life’ warning.
One man was spotted being rescued from the deluge this afternoon by emergency services. Meanwhile, there are weather warnings for snow and ice still in force across much of the UK after severe flooding and snow caused travel chaos and closed hundreds of schools.

Across England, there are also 133 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, and 300 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible. Commuters are suffering travel misery again today, with major roads closed and railway lines blocked. A homeowner in Loughborough has been devastated after his home has flooded for the second time in the space of a year.

The man, who didn’t want to be named, was preparing to move back into his Belton Road home after it flooded last January and suffered serious damage. He’s been living in alternative accommodation since then, and was preparing to move back in this week when the flooding started again on Monday.

He said: ‘They had almost got everything ready to move back in – all new downstairs. Now, all the new stuff, the new items, have got to be repaired and replaced again. ‘They will potentially tell us it’s all got to be scrapped. ‘Last year everything downstairs – the carpets, flooring, furniture – all were damaged.
