£30m Flooding Defence Scheme Announced, Yorkshire
A Yorkshire council has welcomed the Government's announcement of £30m of funding for a major flood defence scheme.
The Calderdale Flood Partnership Board has approved the flood scheme for Mytholmroyd after an investigation by the Environment Agency established it would provide the 'highest possible standard of flood protection for the village'.
The village of Mytholmroyd, which is outside the town of Hebden Bridge, was severely affected by the 2015 Boxing Day floods.
