Government Flood Funding Available

If your property or business is affected by flooding frequently you can now apply for government funding towards protecting against the affects of flooding.

This funding has been made available by the Government, and is to be distributed by Shropshire Council.

The scheme provides up to £5,000 towards making a property or business more resistant or resilient to future flood events, though the installation of Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures.

These measures can include flood-resistant door barriers and air brick covers to manage the amount of flood water entering the property, or the raising of electrics above the flood level and the replacement of carpets with tiling to make it easier to return a property to normal after a flood.

Other resistance and resilience measures are available, depending on the type of property and source of flooding.
