Decision:

As detailed in the recommendation.

Minutes:

The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment introduced the report which sought approval and endorsement of the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy prior to formal submission to Welsh Government.

 

The Council, as a Lead Local Flood Authority, was required to prepare a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy, the purpose of which was to address potential flood risks arising from local sources which were those within the boundaries of the Authority area.

 

An important part of the Local Strategy would be to ensure that communities were aware of what risks existed, were aware of what the County Council and other risk management partners’ responsibilities were in terms of flood risk and what communities could do to involve themselves.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the report and Strategy be approved and endorsed.
