Bournemouth Borough Council will be administering claims for local residents and businesses. The deadline for applications is 30 June.
Tony Williams, Chief Executive at Bournemouth Borough Council, said: “For many of our residents, the recent flooding had devastating effects on their homes and their businesses. We’re keen to help local people get back on their feet as soon as possible after the flooding and build a more resilient defence against future flooding in Bournemouth.”
