<p>This Government has developed a six-year programme of work, involving over 1,400
projects, to improve defences throughout the country between 2015 and 2021. This has
been made possible by our record level of commitment by investing £2.3 billion in
improving defences over the coming six years. Efficiency gains will ensure this funding
goes even further. This work is projected to reduce the risk of flooding or erosion
to at least 300,000 households by 2021, and avoid around £30 billion in economic damages.</p><p>
