Telford & Wrekin Council has been awarded £1.2million to help protect properties at 'most risk' of flooding, which will be spent over the next three years.
Work includes the creation of two new permanent flood defence walls at Dale End and Ladywood, as well as a range of flood alleviation measures for some 'at-risk properties' that are not already protected by permanent defences.
The proposed flood protection work has been approved in principle by the Environment Agency, and includes options such as additional waterproofing, pumps and flood doors - depending on the property and location.
