Redbridge Council has ringfenced £830,000 of funding to support a package of flood defence measures across the borough over the next few years.

“The money will be used to introduce flood alleviation schemes in areas previously seriously affected by flooding, and ensure the borough’s risk management and surface water management plans remain up to date. A range of sustainable drainage systems are also being designed for areas affected by the flash floods in July 2021,” said a spokesperson.
