How the Environment Agency will manage government investment to reduce flood risk and coastal erosion in England.
Environment Agency ‘Between April 2015 and March 2021, the government will invest £2.3 billion in more than 1,500 projects across England. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) investment plan sets out how this commitment will transform flood and coastal erosion risk management over the coming 6 years. The programme of work that this funding will support will reduce flood risk to more than 300,000 households by March 2021. The Environment Agency published details of the programme of flood and coastal erosion risk management schemes in December 2014. The 6 year investment programme was also published as an interactive map. The map is currently unavailable as it is being updated. The live nature of the programme means that the programme details and interactive map will be updated regularly during the next 6 years. The next update is expected in July 2015.
