Cllr Allan Henderson, Chair of the Council's Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee said: "Since the publication of the Plans in June 2016, public sector finances in Scotland have continued to be under considerable pressure. This places an even greater responsibility on SEPA, local authorities and Scottish Water and other responsible authorities to deliver their flood risk management responsibilities and in particular the actions in the Plans, to manage flooding in a sustainable way. SEPA, local authorities and Scottish Water and other responsible authorities will continue to work collaboratively to implement the actions in the Plans to its conclusion in June 2022."
