Multi-million pound funding announced for flood support in Wales
£11.2 million in funding is set to go to supporting local authorities in Wales and help them recover from the devastating storms that struck communities in recent years
£11.2 million in funding is set to go to supporting local authorities in Wales and help them recover from the devastating storms that struck communities in recent years.
£10.2 million will be allocated in 2026-27 to Carmarthenshire and Monmouthshire councils to support their recovery from flooding in November 2025.
Additional funding of almost £1 million will be provided this financial year to Merthyr Tydfil Council to meet the ongoing costs of remediating the sinkhole caused by Storm Bert.
The Welsh Government says the announcement builds on the £2.5 million made available to affected communities in Monmouthshire following Storm Claudia in November 2025.
Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, said:
"The storms of late 2025 caused real hardship for communities right across Wales, and I am determined that no council should be left to bear those costs alone.
“This additional funding builds on the support we have already provided and underlines the Welsh Government's continued commitment to helping councils support their communities to rebuild after these devastating events.
“I want residents in Carmarthenshire, Monmouthshire and Merthyr Tydfil to know that the Welsh Government stands with them as they continue to recover and rebuild."
