EU gives £110m to flood-hit areas | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
MEPs have agreed to give £110m of recovery funding to areas of England hit by last summer's floods. | |
Gloucester MP Parmjit Dhanda and county councillor Julie Girling travelled to Brussels to pitch for the cash from the European Union Solidarity Fund. | |
Thousands of Gloucestershire homes and businesses were left under water after the deluges last June and July. | |
The condition of the spending is that it must be used on recovery and repairs to infrastructure such as roads. | |
Local authorities must also give details of what resilience efforts they are making to prevent a repeat of the devastation should heavy rains fall again. | |
