Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what works they are planning to improve flood defences up to 2020.
This question was answered on 30th January 2017
Government has a six year programme to improve flood defences between 2015 and 2021. We are investing £2.5 billion in 1,500 flood defence improvement schemes which will better protect over 300,000 more homes. Details of each of the schemes, including scheduled start and completion dates are published on the GOV.UK website in the document ‘Flood and coastal erosion risk management investment programme 2015 to 2021’. This is a developing pipeline of projects which is updated periodically.
