Answer
The Government launched a consultation on 3 June on proposals to reform the way we fund flood and coastal defences. Our proposals will help ensure funding is distributed more effectively across the country – protecting properties across all communities including in rural, coastal and poorer areas.
The consultation also includes a call for evidence on alternative sources of funding to enable Government funding to go further and opportunities for English devolution to support flood risk management.
