What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Leicestershire County Council provided flood defence items, including sandbag alternatives and temporary barriers, to at-risk areas such as Bottesford and Newtown Linford. These items were distributed as part of a £400,000 community grant scheme. The Council also used a portion of the funding to increase the frequency of drain cleaning and culvert maintenance across the county.
