Councillor R. Noble

To consider adoption of the Adverse Weather Plan

Cabinet considered a report on the adoption of an Adverse Weather Plan.

The Plan would facilitate a commonly agreed, understood and co-ordinated approach outlining roles and responsibilities, communication to staff and the public. A scalable approach will simplify decision making and response requirements at the time of an adverse weather event.

Alternative options considered and rejected by Cabinet:

·         Proceed without documenting the processes and respond on a case by case basis

Resolved to adopt the Adverse Weather Plan as attached at Appendix A to the report.

Reason for Decision

The plan will provide a framework for the Council’s adverse weather preparedness and response.
