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.
