Homes in Front Brents, Faversham, will be protected from flooding as new defences are set to be built.
I have received a letter from the Environment Agency confirming that funding has been secured to build the defences. Work on the project is expected to start in September.
I’m glad I was able to help get this funding after delays meant the scheme missed DEFRA's deadline. I pressed the Government Minister responsible to help, as I was determined Faversham shouldn't miss out.
Good sense has prevailed, and I hope the works will now proceed promptly to give much needed peace of mind to residents who were so badly affected by the flooding in 2013
