Decision details

Councillor Hugh Irving informed the Committee that he had been attending meetings of the Queen’s Building Project Board on a regular basis and that, based on the Project Board’s work, Cabinet had recently approved the next phase of the project.

Councillor Peter Scott advised the Committee that the Flood Risk Management and Riparian Land Ownership Task and Finish Group had concluded its work and presented its final report to Communities Scrutiny Committee the previous week.  The Group’s findings, conclusions and recommendations in relation to strengthening working relationships and ensuring robust communication and information sharing channels between all flood risk management authorities, riparian land owners and the public in general, had been well received.  The Committee had also supported the Task and Finish Group’s recommendation that a Working Group of all the organisations involved with the work should continue to meet on an annual basis for the purpose of highlighting any major issues or problems which were being encountered, and for sharing information on major projects that were being planned.
