Flood Recovery Grants – register that you were impacted

A message from West Berkshire Council
We’ve received a number of requests asking how you can access grants from central government following the recent flooding.
The flood recovery grants are currently only available once West Berkshire has reached a threshold of 50 properties impacted by internal flooding (residential and commercial) which have been reported to either the Environment Agency or the council. (The flooding must have occurred in the period 2 January to 12 January)
At this stage, West Berkshire has not reached this threshold, therefore we’ve been unable to apply for the funding. Should West Berkshire hit the threshold, we’ll advise government and any eligibility for grant funding will be communicated to those affected.
Therefore, if your property has been impacted, or you know someone whose property has been flooded, please make sure this is reported to both the Environment Agency and the council with any details (including photos):
- contact the Environment Agency on their incident hotline: 0800 80 70 60or enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk
- email West Berkshire Council at HTAdmin@westberks.gov.uk
