Issue - decisions

RESOLVED: (i)         That approval be given to terminate the trial of the Aquabarrier system and implement a revised action plan of introducing a sandbag bund across Clementhorpe to offer residents some assistance in times of flooding from the river Ouse in the Clementhorpe area.

REASON:      To overcome the potential health and safety risks associated with the seepage flow through the ground causing road failure and flooding behind the line of defence and to offer some measure of assistance to residents of the Clementhorpe area.

                        (ii)        That the Environment Agency be requested to report on how the Clementhorpe area, and other parts of the City, will be provided with permanent flood protection and to make this information, and programme installation dates, available to affected communities and Ward Councillors.

REASON:      To secure the long term protection of this area from flooding and to ensure that residents are kept informed.
