Essex County Council launches £2 million initiative to protect homes from increased flooding risks.

Essex County Council is rolling out a £2 million initiative to protect homes against flooding, offering up to £8,000 to households for flood defenses such as reinforced doors and pumps. This move follows Met Office predictions of a 35% increase in winter rainfall and a 25% rise in intensity by 2070. The council also plans a new flood strategy and a £4.5 million investment in flood defense projects.
