With so many affected by the flooding that has taken place in recent days I am very pleased to hear that the Government has announced a raft of financial support measures for households and businesses.
Flooded households in eligible areas can apply for up to £500 for immediate costs, and those severely affected, including businesses, will be granted 100% council tax and business rates relief for at least three months.
Through separate funding streams small and medium sized businesses, flood-hit property owners and farmers may be eligible for additional financial support. As more information comes available, I will be sure to communicate this as soon as possible.
I will be holding discussions with Ministers on what more can be done, but please do get in touch with my office at laurence.robertson.mp@parliament.uk if you have any comments or queries. This website will continue to be updated with the latest information.
