UK invests £1.4B in flood defences for 2026/27, the largest single-year funding in England’s history.
The UK government has announced a £1.4 billion investment in flood defences for 2026/27, the largest single-year allocation in England’s history, part of a £10.5 billion programme from 2024 to 2036.
The funding will support over 600 projects nationwide, protecting tens of thousands of homes and businesses through new barriers, upgraded infrastructure, and natural flood management.
Key initiatives include major schemes in Yorkshire, the North East, Pevensey Bay, Derby, and Preston, alongside repairs to storm-damaged defences.
Officials say every £1 spent prevents about £8 in future economic damage, emphasizing long-term resilience and job creation.
