Businesses on Worcester’s High street were outraged when, shortly after the floods, Labour hiked the parking charges, harming local businesses. Will the Secretary of State join me in congratulating the new Conservative administration on Worcester city council on reversing those hikes as soon as it took power?

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate his Department has made of the (a) number of journeys affected by and (b) the total cost of road closures as a result of flooding in Worcester during February 2014.
The strategic road network which falls under the responsibility of the Highways Agency did not report any closures as a result of flooding in Worcestershire during February 2014.
Local roads in Worcester are the responsibility of the local highway authority, Worcestershire county council. The Department for Transport does not, therefore, hold records of the number of journeys that may have been affected or any cost estimates as a result of local road closures due to flooding.
I am very pleased with the Government’s rapid response in providing support for businesses that were directly affected by the floods, but evidence is emerging in Worcester of substantial indirect effects from transport disruptions, particularly to small businesses. I understand that Worcester received around £57,000 of funding in the first tranche of the floods fund. Can the Minister confirm that as more evidence emerges, there may be more money to support local SMEs?

I can confirm that a second tranche of funding will be made available under the business support scheme, and my Department is talking to all local authorities where businesses have been affected. Where they have been significantly affected, of course we want to help.
