Property Flood Resilience Action Plan published

Property Flood Resilience Action Plan published

As part of its National Flood Review, DEFRA has now published the action plan which sets out recommendations from the Property Level Flood Resilience Roundtable, chaired by Peter Bonfield. In 2015, the roundtable was asked to look at ways to help people protect their property and businesses from the effects of flooding. The action plan sets out what the group has done so far, what it plans to do in the future, and its recommendations to government.

CPA Weekly Notes

CPA Weekly Notes

This week’s Notes include details on the publishing of CPA’s Construction Industry Scenarios for Summer 2016. Due to the post-Referendum period of political and economic uncertainty, the CPA has developed a central scenario with higher and lower bound reflecting the extent of the uncertainty, rather than produce the standard point estimate forecasts. The CPA’s construction industry scenarios go to the end of 2018, prior to the anticipated period in which the UK leaves the EU. Read the Notes here.
