A DEVELOPER has apologised after flooding from snow-melt submerged gardens and a well-used path in a picturesque village. Story Homes is building an estate of 145 homes on land off Thirsk Road south of Kirklevington Primary School. But flooding from the stretch has left some villagers angered after a public right of way and a garden on St Martins Walk were swamped at the weekend. Yarm councillor Andrew Sherris said residents had been left “exasperated” by the ordeal – and called on Story Homes to get its act together. “It’s about time they pulled their finger out and sorted it,” he added.
