Flood repairs around Wales given extra £4.2m

An extra £4.2m is being pledged by the Welsh government for the "swift repair" of flood defences battered by the winter storms.

The cash will be paid directly to Welsh councils after they said more money was needed for the clean-up.

Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies had already promised £3m to pay for emergency repairs.

Most of the funding will be spent in Conwy, Denbighshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
