£6.7m to help flooded communities
The Government has announced an additional £6.7m to help local councils deal with the damage caused by flooding and recent severe weather. The money will be used to help affected communities recover.
One of those most affected is the area around Muchelney on the Somerset Levels. Despite the problems being faced by those who live there, they say community spirit is keeping them going.
