正文(英文) | Press release Activation of Bellwin Scheme and cash boost for Whaley BridgeLocal communities and businesses impacted by last week’s heavy rain and flooding will have access to £5.25m to support their recovery. Local communities and businesses impacted by last week’s heavy rain and flooding will have access to £5.25m to support their recovery, following confirmation from the Government today (Saturday 10 August). Businesses affected by the Whaley Bridge evacuation will receive up to £100,000 in emergency funding to cover uninsurable costs. This follows a commitment from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to match regional support of £100,000 delivered through the local Business Recovery Fund. Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom said:
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has activated the government’s emergency Bellwin scheme to reimburse local authorities for the immediate costs they have paid out in support of the emergency in Derbyshire and flooding in Lincolnshire and North Yorkshire. Under the scheme, local authorities dealing with the Whaley Bridge emergency and for flooding in Wainfleet and Richmondshire can apply to have 100% of the money they have spent, above a threshold, reimbursed by the government. This could be for items including rest centres, temporary accommodation and staff overtime. A further package of support, including £150,000 of funding will also go to High Peak Borough Council, which includes the town of Whaley Bridge, to support their initiatives to help the recovery of the local economy. Local Government Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP said:
Alongside damage to the Toddbrook Dam in Whaley Bridge, parts of North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire experienced unprecedented rainfall this summer, causing flash flooding and damage to homes, businesses and agricultural land. Farms in in Wainfleet and North Yorkshire were particularly hard-hit, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is making up to £2 million available for farming businesses affected. Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers said:
Finally, two damaged bridges in Yorkshire will be replaced thanks to a £3 million investment from the Department for Transport. The one-off, exceptional funding will help North Yorkshire County Council repair the bridges on Grinton Moor and near Cogden Beck as quickly as possible, and reconnect two sides of Grinton Moor - saving up to 60 minutes of driving time. Roads Minister Baroness Vere said:
