Hey Uncle Dave,
My house got wrecked in the summer floods. Do you know if the government’s got any plans to help me, or are they too busy making bilingual road signs?
Noah Insurance
You picked a good day to ask, Noah, the Govt has just announced there’ll be an offer of a voluntary buyout for the worst affected homes - about 700 of them - and a whole bunch of work to provide better protection for another 10,000 houses.
So, how will they work out what my place is worth?
Noah
That bit’s coming in the next few weeks, as well as how they split the cost between councils and central Government.
They take their time don’t they?
Noah
