Sheffield families have shared their distress at how the graves of their loved ones have been flooded due to heavy rain.

A number of plots on Abbey Lane Cemetery can now only be reached ‘with wellies’ after several rainstorms in the past two weeks. The Star understands the problem began around November 12 and standing water has still not drained away.

Families are shared their distress and are demanding to know what Sheffield City Council will do to clear the flooding and prevent it from happening again. The council says it is “working hard” to drain the area.
