Reason
for Decision
The
predecessor councils each had their own policies and arrangements for the
provision of sandbags to residents to help protect their properties in the
event of flooding. With the creation of
Dorset Council, a single policy is needed to provide a consistent service
across the Council's area to aid in its preparations for winter and potential
severe weather.
Alternative
Options considered and rejected
Cessation
of the provision of sandbags to protect residential properties in the event of
flooding.
