This Government will invest £7.9 million over the next ten years in the largest ever flood programme.
This will boost resilience and benefit 840,000 properties by 2035–36.
The programme will launch in April 2026 and I encourage all local areas to work with the Environment Agency to explore options for future flood schemes.
