Earlier this year, North West Leicestershire secured £334,000 of investment in local flood defence schemes to better protect homes and businesses in Long Whatton, Breedon and Diseworth.
This cash injection formed part of the government’s record investment of £10.5 billion until 2036 to protect more than 800,000 properties across the UK.
 
Across the UK, 151 schemes have been completed in the last 12 months, protecting 24,000 homes from flooding.
 
I recently met with Leicestershire County Council and the Environment Agency to gain an update on these schemes and discuss progress in other areas.
 
It’s great to hear that the scheme in Breedon is on track to be completed by the end of the year. There’s also some progress underway in Packington, Measham, and other areas to help reduce risks and improve early warning systems.
 
With Flood Awareness Week upon us next week, I encourage everyone to look into their local flood risk and consider the measures they can take to be prepared in case the worst should happen.
Flooding is not a new threat for us, but it demands action. I’ll continue working hard to make sure our communities are better protected and better prepared for the future.
