LGA responds to chancellor's announcement of £50 million fund for flood victims

Cllr Peter Box responds to the Chancellor's announcement of a £50 million fund for families and businesses affected by the recent floods.

This announcement is good news for communities and will make a major difference to the hundreds of families and businesses which have been devastated by the recent flooding.

"However, councils are only starting to get a real idea of the impact of the devastation- particularly the damage to roads and bridges which is likely to be extensive and hugely costly to repair. The hard fact is that it is going to be a long and costly recovery process and there is no doubt councils will need more support over the coming months. Councils are continuing to work around the clock to ensure floods are responded to swiftly and effectively in the meantime."
