Agenda item

Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment which sought funding to undertake flood risk management and other activities to improve the City’s resilience to flooding.

It was advised that the Finance Committee had declined to award additional funding for this work, instead requesting that officers seek to deliver the intended activities from within existing local risk budgets. Should it transpire that additional funding was required later in the year, the Committee had indicated that it would be amenable to considering a further request. The Policy and Resources Committee agreed to endorse this position.

RESOLVED: That Members endorse the Finance Committee’s decision that the resilience work outlined in the report should be funded from existing local risk budgets.
