Flooded Biz District Struggles On

Rochdale’s Fieldhouse Industrial Estate was hit with catastrophic flooding last Tuesday, leaving basements submerged, power out, and over seventy businesses shuttered—no injuries, but massive financial losses. Entrepreneurs like Sam, whose hybrid online/storefront operation is stalled, and Carol, the 62-year-old snack bar owner struggling without running water, are stuck in limbo. Landlord Bizspace urges insurance claims, but many say that doesn’t cover lost stock or income. A tentative reopening date of Thursday, June 11th is rumored, but no official word yet—leaving business owners in a tense wait for answers.
