Financial help following Storm Babet flooding
People in Dundee whose homes and businesses were damaged by the devastating Storm Babet are to receive financial support to help them recover from the impacts of the unprecedented flooding,
Following the provision of additional funding by the Scottish Government, those worst affected will be eligible for grants for damage to their homes and property.
Flat rate grants of £1,500 are available to people whose primary residence was flooded. Businesses and other groups which cannot operate, or which sustained significant damage and can only carry out limited work due to flooding, will receive £3,000.
Grants provide financial support to all who meet the criteria, irrespective of whether they are council tenants, housing association, private renting or homeowners.
Grants are available for both insured or uninsured properties. Residential properties which only suffered flooding of the garden, or second homes, will not be eligible.
Around 130 Dundee properties, most of them residential but also a small number of businesses, have been identified as having been damaged when the Dighty burst its banks during the storm.
Property owners will be contacted directly to arrange payment of the grants. For further information, please contact 01382 434000.
