RESOLVED: (i)         That the contents of the report, and the potential for expenditure growth, be recognised, and that the Executive will consider what additional resources might be allocated to deal with the new burdens arising from the Flood and Water Management Act, and the Flood Risk Regulations 2009, once the 2011/12 government grant settlement for the City is clearer.

REASON:      In order to fulfil the Council’s obligations under the Flood and Water Management Act and the Flood Risk Regulations 2009.

                        (ii)        That Officers be requested to arrange for the Sandbag Policy to be published on the Council’s website and for a suitable article summarising the Policy to be made available for publication in appropriate ward committee newsletters.

REASON:      To allow the efficient and effective distribution of sandbags in a flood emergency situation.
