Flood Relief Measures
Lincolnshire County Council’s executive have approved an additional £4m to support flood relief measures.
Almost 700 properties were internally flooded across Lincolnshire in October after Storm Babet brought
more than a month’s worth of rain to the county in less than 24 hours.
Each case of internal flooding is investigated by Lincolnshire County Council to produce what is called a
‘Section 19’ report. As part of the reports, there will be recommendations that could be undertaken by
relevant authorities to minimise the likelihood of further flooding in that area.
The extra funding will be used to carry out these investigations and facilitate some of the
recommendations where the council is able.
Government grant funding has also been made available to
help homeowners and businesses affected by flooding due to Storm Babet or Storm Henk. Grants are available to people
who suffered internal flood damage to their homes or businesses during Storm Babet or Storm Henk.
Eligible property owners can apply for up to £5,000 to help make their property more resilient to future flooding.
