The Prince of Wales meets local residents, Rob and Helen Wyatt, during a visit to the village of Skenfrith in Monmouthshire
The Prince of Wales has said a "holistic" approach is needed to tackle severe flooding, as a small Welsh village prepares for the upcoming storm season. Residents in Skenfrith, Monmouthshire, have faced four major floods in the past six years. An extreme flood last winter had a devastating impact on the village, when the River Monnow burst its banks after Storm Claudia brought a month's worth of rain in just 24 hours to parts of England and Wales.
