This significant funding will enable Somerset Council to implement various flood protection initiatives, including enhanced defence schemes, nature-based solutions, upgraded water infrastructure, and improved waterway maintenance. This announcement follows a record-breaking wet January—the second wettest on record for the county—when rainfall doubled the average levels, leading Somerset Council to declare a major incident as flooding persisted into February.
