Learning lessons from the 2007 floods - the Pitt Review Final Report - LGA briefing
Sir Michael Pitt's independent Review into the summer 2007 floods was published on 25 June. This LGA briefing gives an outline of the main recommendations, implications for local authorities and LGA views. The Report calls on the Government to take a more ‘strategic role’ in making the case for adaptation to climate change and highlights the role of local authorities in improving adaptation to cope with extreme weather.
