http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1539962,00.html This is wrong. The article refers to the Bellwin scheme under which
the national government makes grants to local authorities in the case of severe weather incidents such as Boscastle and Birmingham (see
http://www.local.odpm.gov.uk/finance/bellwin/bell0506.htm for terms of the scheme.) This scheme provides money for the Local Authority ONLY for clearing up fallen trees (but not replanting them), mending any roads and pavements and street furniture damaged by the event, providing emergency accommodation and employing extra contractors i.e. like the people with the hydraulic platforms etc.
Roger Godsiff on film (attached below) also stated at a public meeting on Saturday 30th July that this is the case and that it doesn't translate into money for hard hit individuals.

Balsall Heath's tornado devastation overlooked by mainstream media
29-07-2005 03:24
So many roofs and parts of roofs are missing. If there's any rain tomorrow or in the next few days and possibly weeks ceilings will collapse and people's possessions will be damaged. Urgent action needs to be taken to ensure repairs are carried out as quickly as possible. There is structural damage to hundreds of homes in the area.
Local resident Dave said, "This is a disaster zone! No amount of regeneration funding can help, it will be too late. Damage will escalate in the B12 area of Birmingham, unless immediate action is taken. Both economically, socially, spiritually this disaster may spoil all the community cohesion that exists already. Direct Government action is needed!'
