AN insurance giant and DIY firm have teamed up to offer help to south Herefordshire flood victims.

Focus has offered a 20% total discount to Ross-on-Wye residents to help with their clean-up costs.

Victims can claim the reduction through community support cards, handed out by Royal & SunAlliance representatives dealing with claims in badly affected areas. It will particularly benefit those without insurance.

Phil Roberts, Store Manager at the Ross branch of Focus, is happy to help out: "The recent flood damage has left many people without the basic equipment needed to clean up their homes and gardens," said Mr Roberts. "This was the least we could do at such a difficult time for people in our community."
