Government unveils two-year investment of 2.65 billion to build and repair flood defences.
52,000 properties set to benefit from new defences by March 2026 .
Funding will be reprioritised for investment in much-needed maintenance, benefitting a further 14,500 properties.
Floods Resilience Taskforce meets today to discuss lessons from recent storms.
The government is committed to delivering a refreshed and updated approach to flood defences, fit for the challenges we face.
The existing funding formula for allocating money to defences slows down the delivery of new schemes through a complex application process.
A consultation to update the formula will be launched shortly.
