Issue - meetings

ES20058

No red risks were reported.

A Member referred to a risk relating to climate change and said there was no reference to what the risks actually were. The Assistant Director for Performance Management and Business Support responded and said that the risks in the report were purely the risks to the Council, for example from flooding and what the Council could do in terms of planning and design to adapt to those risks. This could be the things like Council’s Flood Risk Strategy, the way the Council managed drains, planted trees and designed buildings. 

A Member referred to the Clean Air Act and said that people still held bonfires all over the place which were polluting and nothing was done about it. He felt that the Council should focus on matters such as these over which they had direct control.

It was noted by the Chairman that it was Sarah Foster’s  (Assistant Director for Performance Management and Business Support) last meeting for the Council as she was moving on to pastures new. The Chairman and the Committee thanked Ms Foster for her excellent service for Bromley Council and wished her well in her future role.

RESOLVED that the Risk Register update be noted.
