Flood Control: Bicester and Woodstock
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to allocate adequate resources to support households at risk of flooding in Bicester and Woodstock constituency.
Answered by Emma Hardy
This Government will invest £7.9 billion over the next ten years in the largest ever flood programme.
This will boost resilience and benefit 840,000 properties by 2035–36.
The programme will launch in April 2026 and I encourage all local areas to work with the Environment Agency to explore options for future flood schemes.
