The government has committed to spending a ‘record two-year investment of £2.65 billion in flood and coastal erosion risk management’ between April 2024 and March 2026. As such, the Environment Agency has recently published information about projects that will receive an allocation between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026, as well as prioritised projects that are ready for delivery.
The two-year commitment will help protect 52,000 homes and non-residential properties, including shops, business and industrial premises, schools, hospitals, transport links, and utility sites.
