Issue - meetings

Members of Committee discussed recent issues with flooding across the district and commented on individual circumstances they were aware of. The Chairman highlighted that questions would be shared with the Environment Agency in advance of their attendance at the meeting in February and, whilst this would not preclude additional questions on the night, the purpose of discussions at this stage was to finalise the advance questions.

A Member of Committee suggested that Ward Members be invited in order to represent their areas, especially where there had been local difficulties. It was agreed this was a sensible suggestion and all Members would be made aware of the details of the meeting.

The Committee further discussed the areas covered by the proposed questions and suggestions were made to include slight alterations. The Democratic and Civic Officer made a note of the amendments and it was

RESOLVED that the questions, as amended, be confirmed and shared with the Environment Agency in advance of the February meeting.
