This includes grants of up to £5000 to make properties and businesses more resilient to future flooding, £500 per household to help with recovery costs, such as provision of temporary accommodation, an average of £2500 per business to support to businesses whose trade has been affected by flooding and Council Tax and Businesses Rate relief.</p><p>We are also taking action to protect domestic properties at the highest flood risk by making sure that households can access affordable flood insurance, regardless of where they live. Flood Re has now been set up and it is expected to start accepting policies in April.</p><p>We are aware that some small businesses in high flood risk areas may find accessing affordable insurance challenging. We are working to further understand what problems the small business community are experiencing and to discuss the options available for taking action.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 25/02/2016 10:48:54 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
