Flood Risk Management Strategies - (from an email from Councillor Manjinder Singh) - Consultation Meeting; 15 February, Kessington Hall

On 11 January, The Scottish Government launched Flood Risk Management Strategies to coordinate efforts to tackle flooding in Scotland.  They set the direction of future flood risk management, helping to target investment and coordinate actions across public bodies.  
A strategy is available for each of the 14 Local Plan Districts across Scotland.  
The Local Plan District for the south west of Scotland is the Clyde and Loch Lomond LPD.
The Flood Risk Management Strategy for this area is available for review via the SEPA website here http://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/clyde-loch-lomond.html
The plan below shows the extent of the Potentially Vulnerable Area (PVA) of the Local Plan District which includes East Dunbartonshire Council area:

PVA 11/04 - Kilsyth to Bearsden - north of Glasgow Cityhttp://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/pdf/pva/PVA_11_04_Full.pdf

A Local Flood Risk Management Plan is now being developed to detail how the Flood Risk Management Strategy will be implemented over the coming years.
To support this, a non – statutory consultation event is being held for our area to ensure a greater awareness of flood risk, the Flood Risk Management Strategy document and the development of the Local Flood Risk Management Plan.
The drop in session engagement exhibition will be held at:
Location – Kessington Public Hall, Lesser Hall, Milngavie Rd, Bearsden, Glasgow, G61 2DP
Date – Monday, 15 February 2016        Time – 2pm to 7pm
