Fife Council is urging people to apply for a grant to protect against flooding.
As winter approaches, the council is encouraging property owners at risk of flooding to apply for support through its Property Flood Resilience Grant (PFRG) scheme.
Offering grants of up to £5000 per property, the scheme helps private homeowners and businesses install flood-resilient measures to ease recovery after extreme weather events.
In the past four years, roughly 1300 flooding incidents have been reported in Fife, highlighting the growing problem.
Fife Council can assist applicants in arranging a property flood assessment report via the Scottish Flood Forum.
The grant was launched in February 2024 to help property owners protect against extreme weather.
The PFRG scheme has been extended into 2025/26 with a funding pot of £309,000.
More details on eligibility and the application process are available via the Fife Council website.
Applications can be collected from customer service centres or requested by phoning 03451 55 00 11 (option 4).
