Purpose: An update to the local flood risk management strategy

Content: This draft Strategy updated the Buckinghamshire Council (BC) Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (2017-2022), which was adopted under the legacy Buckinghamshire County Council. The Strategy (Appendix 1) had been developed in collaboration with all relevant internal services and external partners, and set out the Council’s understanding of flood risk, the Council’s objectives and how they would be monitored and reviewed. The accompanying Action Plan (Appendix 2) described the specific measures which would be undertaken. These objectives encompassed and built on the principles of the previous Local Flood Risk Management Strategy and reflected the changes in national strategy by focussing on themes of partnership, resilience and innovation.   RESOLVED that the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy be AGREED.
