Documents obtained by theGuardian show work on 294 flood defence projects that were in line to receive funding never began while large swaths of the country remain on flood alert.

“The government is wringing its hands while the waters rise. The fact is that spending has decreased while flooding has increased. Spending on flooding is clearly not enough”, said Charles Tucker of the National Flood Forum.

A total of eight flood warnings and 55 flood alerts across Britain come as up to 10mm of rain an hour fell in parts of Wales, the Midlands, and East Anglia and thousands of homes were flooded, incurring hundreds of millions of pounds of damage.

Meanwhile, the Guardian reported that the 294 flood defence projects that had indicative funding in 2010 to begin work in the following two years have received no funding at all.

The spending cuts and flooded homes in Britain come as official figures show the London Olympic Games, which are to begin in nearly two weeks, will cost British taxpayers over £9 billion while independent investigations show the figure could be as high as £24 billion.
