Despite David Cameron's statement that money is no object flood hit residents are being charged by a Tory council for sandbags.

ANGRY residents in a flood-hit flat block have blasted a “total lack of support” from Christchurch council and their MP, saying they have been forced to buy their own sandbags.

Residents in Conifer Close – some of whom were evacuated on Christmas Day – say they are the “forgotten corner” of Christchurch and living in fear of further flooding.

Residents say they requested sandbags from the council but were told they would have to purchase Floodsacks at £30 for a pack of four.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

So much for 'no expense will be spared'! Just watched him say 'my heart goes out to people who are flooded'. Rolling Eyes
