A damning report today blamed Yorkshire Water for failing to
prevent mass flooding in Hull.
More than 8,600 homes and almost 100 schools were flooded because of heavy
rainfall in the city on June 25.
But today's final report by the Independent Review Body (IRB), commissioned to
examine the causes of the flooding, says Yorkshire Water consistently ignored
warnings about faults in its drainage network in Hull.
