天美传媒 Council is to provide grants of 拢1,000 to flood victims following Storm Bert. The Flood Recovery Grant Scheme will be available to residents that have suffered internal flooding as a result of the recent storm.
Councillor Helen Cunningham, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Place & Environment says:
鈥淚鈥檝e been out in communities affected by flooding in our borough and have seen for myself the sheer devastation this has brought on people and families, especially in the run up to Christmas. Council staff continue to be in the areas affected supporting residents with clean-ups and making sure they can access all the available support.
鈥淥ur Flood Recovery Grant Scheme will mean a payment of 拢1,000 for eligible residents affected by flooding. This is in addition to the Welsh Government scheme and other discretionary payment and hardship schemes we have helped people to access. We remain committed to supporting our communities rebuild and recover and are hopeful this grant scheme, together with the other support available, will help go some way to help them with restoring their homes and belongings.鈥
This was proposed and endorsed by members at Full Council today.
We will provide information on eligibility and how to apply shortly.
