Shrewsbury Flood Report Reveals Millions in Hidden Business Losses

A National Flood Forum (NFF) report has revealed that Shrewsbury’s local economy faces more than twice the flood loss and damage to businesses than previously recognised.

The report shows that businesses in Shrewsbury suffer more than twice the £25million financial losses from flooding than previously estimated by the Environment Agency.

The report is is part of a partnership project between Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury Business Improvement District (BID) and the National Flood Forum, funded by the West Mercia Local Resilience Forum.
