Answer
The Environment Agency (EA) has allocated over £13 million of funding across the Cambridgeshire area in 2024/25. Alongside this investment, the EA is working in partnership with Cambridgeshire County Council to support over 30 local flood action groups across the county to effectively respond to and improve their resilience to flooding.
The Government inherited flood assets in their worst condition on record following years of underinvestment by the previous government – 92.1% of the EA’s 38,000 high consequence assets are currently at required condition.
