The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.
The Chair noted that this would allow the County Council, as the flood authority, to react faster and reflected further that it was a good example of joined-up working between different Councils and stakeholders.
The Chair thanked officers and approved the recommendations in the report.
RESOLVED to:
a) Approve the development and subsequent procurement of a new Lead Local Flood Authority drainage and minor groundworks framework contract.
