Mid Derbyshire residents are set to benefit from government investment to better defend against flooding.
Yesterday evening the government announced £139,000 of new investment for the Ockbrook Flood Alleviation Scheme and £27,000 for the Breadsall Natural Flood Management Scheme. This is on top of over £34,000 pledged for the Derby Flood Risk Management Scheme.
Flood defence schemes are vital for protecting residents from the devastation that flooding can cause to homes, businesses and treasured possessions. I’m very pleased that this additional funding has been promised for local residents.
