Blaenau Gwent Council is making financial support available to residents affected by recent flooding from Storm Bert.
As an immediate response it has been agreed at Council on 28th November 2024 that payments of £1,000 will be made available to occupied residential properties affected by the flood.
Eligibility
- Subject to internal flooding (e.g. kitchen, living room, bedrooms etc.)
- Flooding occurred as a direct consequence of Storm Bert and occurred between Saturday 23rd – Mon 25th November 2024
- Does not include garages, gardens, porches, outbuildings etc. or rainwater penetrations and leaks
- Available to Owner Occupiers and Tenants but to note they must be in occupation of the property (checks will be made with Council Tax records in relation to empty properties)
- Not available to Landlords, empty properties or 2nd properties
- Payments made by BACS
Scheme will close on Friday 20th December 2024.
This scheme is in addition to the Welsh Government Scheme announced earlier in the week (£500 for insured properties and £1,000 for non-insured properties)
However, applications received for either scheme will be utilised to assess eligibility for both schemes where able to, this will maximise entitlement for residents.
