Anne Marie has also pledged to continue fighting for funding to be made available in order that the proposed Teignmouth Flood Alleviation Scheme can go ahead.
Anne Marie said.
“The Shaldon Flood Defence Scheme represents an £8.4m investment in my constituency that will help protect over 450 properties from the risk of flooding. I am absolutely delighted funding for this scheme has been safeguarded in order to allow it to be completed by the end of the year.
However, Teignmouth Flood Alleviation Scheme is equally deserving of investment in my view. The proposed scheme would significantly reduce the risk of flooding for over 650 properties. The proposal is currently on the development list and I will continue to make representations to the Minister on this in order to ensure the required funding is forthcoming that will allow this proposed scheme to go ahead as soon as possible”
