Pub Re-Opens After Deluged By Flood

A pub in Great Glen badly damaged by flooding has re-opened thanks to the efforts of the community.

Villagers rallied round to help with the big clean-up at the Italian Greyhound after water flowed into the premises on January 6th.

Owner Cimi Kazazi made the headlines after being hailed a hero for wading through waste-high water to rescue a driver stranded in deep water outside.

The pub reopened last night and Cimi told HFM he would have been shut for several more weeks without the efforts of people in the village:

Great Glen was among areas worst hit by severe flooding after a brook leading to the River Sence burst its banks, leaving homes and businesses underwater.

Manager of the Italian Greygound, Luigi Falcini, has also praised the efforts of villagers who helped following the flooding and spoke to HFM before the doors re-opened:
