Delivering on the Plan for Change, this Government is investing at least £10.5 billion until 2036 to construct new flood schemes and repair existing defences, protecting communities from the devastating impacts of climate change.
The list of projects to receive Government funding in 26/27 has not yet been determined, and will be agreed in the usual way, through Regional Flood and Coastal Committees, with local representation.
