Issue - meetings

The Board considered the briefing paper provided by officers in respect of the Joint County and District Flooding Scrutiny Task Group.  Members were informed that Worcestershire County Council were co-ordinating this programme of work, which would take approximately 5 years to complete.  The Chairman advised Members that part of the ongoing work was the mapping of Flood Risk Assessments for all wards, by Wyre Forest.  It was not clear at this stage whether the Flood Risk Assessments had been completed.  Members noted that Flood Risk Assessment mapping was a complex exercise but commented that it was an important exercise to identify areas at risk in future. The Executive Director for Leisure, Environment and Community Services agreed to investigate this further and report back in due course.
