Scottish national flood risk plan: flood protection

Jan 22, 2016

 

The Scottish Government has unveiled a plan to protect homes, businesses and communities from flooding. The Flood Risk Management plan contains 14 local strategies and proposals for 42 flood protection schemes or engineering works planned for 2016-21 and a range of other flood alleviation measures. This will be supported by investment over the first cycle of £235 million on measures to protect up to 10,000 properties. Following recent flooding as a result of Storm Frank, the Minister said the plans show the Scottish Government is committed to helping communities recover and protecting communities against future risks.

Information about the plan can be found here.
