Joint Countywide Scrutiny on Flooding
Minutes:
Members were reminded of the Joint Countywide Scrutiny on Flooding which involved all local authorities across Worcestershire. For the benefit of those Members who were new to Overview and Scrutiny, the background to the investigation was briefly mentioned and it was stated that the first Joint Flooding Task Group meeting had been held in February 2008.
The Board was informed that during September 2008, a draft report had been circulated to Task Group Members and representatives who had contributed to the investigation. Due to the comments received, the Task Group Chairman had decided that one further meeting was required and this had been scheduled to take place on 6th November 2008. It was anticipated that the report would be finalised and circulated the following week and therefore would be available in time for the joint meeting of the Overview Board and Scrutiny Board due to be held on 2nd December 2008.
RESOLVED that the update relating to the Joint Countywide Flooding Scrutiny be noted.
