Environment Agency Plan E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y West Midlands - Tame Local Environment Agency Plan Statement of Public Consultation Summary of Public Consultation process March 1998-June 1998 E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE m i d l a n d s r e g i o n 10 Warwick Road Olton, Solihull B 9 2 7 HX ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 0 4 8 9 7 0 Foreword The Environment Agency is committed to public consultation. -Within the Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) process, public consultation is an important building block for developing the Agency’s own action programme and in building partnerships with external organisations. We undertake an extensive public consultation exercise with local authorities, business, environmental pressure groups and amenity societies as well as with the general public. This statement presents the comments that were received during the public consultation period on the West Midlands - Tame LEAP Consultation Report. The LEAP Consultation Report and Action Plan have been produced by the Upper Trent Area of the Environment Agency, one of four areas within the Midlands Region. The West Midlands - Tame area covers all of the land that drains to the River Tame above Kingsbury and includes Birmingham, the Black Country and Solihull.

The consultation report and summary leaflets were given to individuals and organisations with the opportunity to comment on the report and on local environmental problems. Comments were received as letters, faxes and completed questionnaires, the questionnaires were attached to the consultation reports and summary leaflets together with pre-paid envelopes. 1.2 Informal Consultation In July 1997 the Agency wrote to 87 key groups, local authorities and other representative bodies asking for comments on the Agency’s initial list of issues and problems affecting the environment in the area. The consultation formed an important part in the development of the document. In total, 32 replies were received. All comments from this initial information gathering consultation exercise were considered and, where appropriate, were incorporated into the consultation report. A local advisory committee made up of individuals who live and work in the area supports Upper Trent Area. This committee, the Area Environment Group (AEG) takes a particular interest in LEAPs and an AEG sub-group was formed to consider the issues and draft documents. The sub-group made a valuable contribution to the development of the Consultation Report and the Action Plan. The sub-group consisted of: Dr Peter Bottom ley Regional Fisheries Advisory Committee Ian Nichol Groundwork Birmingham Duncan Wemyss British Secondary Metals Association Michael White CBI Midlands, fMI Dr Helen Whitehouse Inland Waterways Association 1.3 Formal Consultation The consultation report was launched on 25 March 1998 via a widespread local press release. The launch marked the start of a three-month consultation period that ended on 25 June 1998. During that time the report was promoted by: • Radio and TV interviews, press releases and public notices in the press. • Distribution of over 8,000 summary leaflets which included a questionnaire. • Display boards at libraries throughout the plan area. • Copies of the report placed on deposit at local authority offices and libraries. • 2 consultation seminars in Walsall and Birmingham. i g:\wordproc\scnthse\leapsWestmitis\Comments Received (jeg-klb) Summary of Responses 2.1 Responses Received A total of 76 written responses to the consultation exercise were received - 42 letters and 34 questionnaires. The response was encouraging, with those consultees who responded representing a wide cross section of interests. All letters and questionnaires were acknowledged and detailed follow-ups were sent to the majority of those who responded. All comments have been considered and where appropriate and practicable, were incorporated into the Action Plan. During the consultation process and via the responses, many organisations expressed an interest in working in partnership with the Agency towards resolving issues highlighted in the report. We received many helpful and welcome suggestions. Errors and omissions were also highlighted, and these are summarised at the end of this report. The consultation process has given the Agency a more comprehensive understanding of the issues and options presented in the LEAP and of the public's concern in the area. The information received in the 34 questionnaires was analysed and each of the 26 issues placed in order of importance and popularity. The most important issues were: Issue 1 Biodiversity Issue 6 Investment by Severn Trent Water Limited to improve water quality Issue 16 Litter and the aesthetic pollution of rivers and canals Issue 20 Sustainable Waste Management The most popular issues were: Issue 3 Enhancement of watercourse corridors in urban areas for wildlife Issue 6 Investment by Severn Trent Water Limited to improve water quality Issue 12 Contaminated Land Issue 16 Litter and the aesthetic pollution of rivers and canals Issue 20 Sustainable Waste Management The responses received indicate that watercourse improvements in terms of water quality, improved aesthetic appearance, the creation of wildlife habitats and better access to the waterside are major concerns to the local community. There is also a general concern about waste production and its disposal. The letters and questionnaires raised a number of new issues that included: • Provision of bends/meanders in rivers • Implications to the environment of large scale use of genetically modified organisms • Industrial development in the green belt from Minworth along the A38 corridor to Bassetts Pole • Transportation of radioactive waste through and over the West Midlands • New housing developments on greenfield/brownfield sites and the provision of proper public transport when greenfield sites are unavoidable • Canalside improvements away from the high profile areas of Gas Street Basin and the National Indoor Arena • The proposed restoration of the Dudley No.2 canal • Proposals for improved access to the Titford canal • Production of Water Level Management Plans 2 s»:\wordproc\sentlisc\leaps\wcstmiiIs\Comments Received fjeg-klb) Summary of Responses The Agency has considered the responses received and the new issues raised. With the exception of Water Level Management Plans (incorporated as a new issue) the suggested issues have not been included in the action plan. Some are already covered by the everdav work of the Agency or, as in the case of canal restoration, the Agency has limited responsibility or funding available for such schemes. Others, such as housing developments and transport, are outside the remit of the Agency. Changes to existing issues are identified in the activity tables in Section 4 of the Action Plan. The plan reflects a balance between the opinions expressed and the need to ensure a feasible and workable plan. 3 g:\wordproc\senthse\leaps\westmids\Comments Received (jeg-klb) 3 Com men Is Received and Agency’s Response Organisation/ Section Comments .

  • Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021
    Birmingham City Council Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021 Flood Risk Management Annual Report Report of the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure - March 2021 1. Introduction A scrutiny review of Flood Risk Management (FRM) and Response was published in June 2010. This set out 12 recommendations which were completed in 2010. In June 2010, The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 passed into law conveying new responsibilities and making Birmingham City Council a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). This report highlights progress in addressing these statutory responsibilities and provides an update on other flood risk management related issues. This report also provides an update into areas for improvement identified in the review of the May 2018 flooding conducted by members of the Sustainability & Transport O&S Committee on 19th July 2018. No major issues were raised at the submittal of the last Flood Risk Management Report in April 2020. 1.1 Climate Emergency On 11th June 2019, Birmingham City Council (BCC) announced a climate emergency and made the commitment to reduce the city’s carbon emissions and limit Birmingham’s contribution to climate change, with an aspiration to become net zero carbon by 2030. The impact of climate change will not just be felt afar, and the impact on Birmingham residents of increased extreme weather events, including flooding, droughts and heatwave is likely to be profound, with increasing risks to both life and property. Given our global footprint and the diversity of the city, the climate crisis will hit at the heart of families and communities within the city.
