The government has “absolutely” provided enough money for flood prevention, the floods minister has said.
Robbie Moore told reports a “huge” amount of flooding has been seen across parts of England but reassured people, teams are “working around the clock” to help those affected.
“In those hard hit areas we’ve experienced a huge amount of flooding, a huge amount of rain, not only here in Nottinghamshire but down in the Severn Valley in Gloucestershire, as well,” he said.
“And I know that they are interacting with MPs but also local authorities to make sure that we are providing as much of that immediate impact that we need to do to protect homes and to make sure that we’re providing that reassurance to homeowners.
“But also, this is backed up by the amount of funding that we are putting into our flood resilience plans, we’ve doubled that, we’re doing £5.2bn over the next cycle to better protect homes that have been impacted by these consequences.”
