The MP wrote to the Government asking for extra cash after receiving concerns from local people that they were not being help by the emergency fund which was announced by Prime Minister David Cameron during his visit to Upton-upon-Severn in February.
Business Minister Michael Fallon has written to Harriett confirming that £222,500 has been allocated to Malvern Hills District Council to help flood affected homes and businesses.
Harriett commented: “I am pleased that my requests for additional funds have been accepted and a substantial amount of money can now be passed on to those who were badly hit by winter floods.
“The Prime Minister came to Upton and met with local people and told them he would ensure that this fund would help them. He was as good as his word.
“I hope that these extra funds quickly get into the hands of the people who need it most – the hard-working people who suffered owing to floods during the winter.
“I encourage anybody who hasn’t yet applied for assistance to contact Malvern Hills District Council as soon as possible.
“My work to secure permanent flood defences in other parts of the county continues and I have been keen to make the case for road improvements in Upton to try and keep it open for business all year round.
“This is some good news and I look forward to hearing further good news on major infrastructure improvements from the Chancellor in the autumn and at next year’s Budget.”
