Local authority areas that have been hit by flooding in the wake of Storm Henk are now able to apply for financial support.

The Flood Recovery Framework will enable flooded households in eligible affected areas to apply for up to £500 cash to help with immediate costs, the Government announced on Saturday.

Significantly affected households and businesses will also be eligible for 100% council tax and business rates relief for at least three months.

Communities Secretary Michael Gove said: ‘If you’ve been affected by the recent severe flooding, you do not have to deal with it alone - we are providing financial help so you can recover as quickly as possible.

‘We know families and businesses are facing extreme challenges right now and we are doing all we can with our partners across central and local government to ensure communities are supported.’
