The EVRCP Terms of Reference can be found at Appendix A of this report. Recommendations: The Committee is asked to: Review the membership of the EV Rapid Charging-Point Sub Group for the municipal year for 2018/19; and Note the report and approve the EV Rapid Charging-Point Terms of Reference at Appendix A. Background 1. The increase in electric vehicle rapid charging points is an important element of the Go Ultra Low City Scheme (GULCS) jointly delivered by TfL, the GLA and London Councils. In response to concerns about the rate of installation of rapid charging points and consistent with a recommendation of the 20 March 2018 Leaders’ Committee, this Committee on 22 March 2018 agreed to set up a Member-level EV Rapid Charging-Point Sub Group. 2. The Terms of Reference of the EVCP have been updated to provide clarity on the operation of this TEC sub-committee and are attached, with tracked changes at Appendix A. In particular, the changes clarify that this sub- committee’s activities complement the work undertaken by the GULCS in this area and that it operates separately to the GULCS in accordance with London Councils’ own governance arrangements. It is anticipated that the work of this sub-committee will be shared with the GULCS by London Councils’ EV Rapid Charging-Point Sub Group London Councils’ TEC – 14 June 2018 Agenda Item 7, Page 1 representatives on the GULCS Steering Group in accordance with TEC’s and GULCS’ separate governance structures. 3. At the TEC meeting on 22 March 2018, it was agreed that the composition of the EV Rapid Charging-Point Sub Group would be as follows: Cllr Julian Bell (LB Ealing, Labour - Chair) Cllr Feryal Demirci (LB Hackney, Labour Vice Chair) Cllr Jennifer Brathwaite (LB Lambeth, Labour) Cllr Phil Doyle (RB Kingston, Conservative Vice Chair) Cllr William Huntingdon Thresher (LB Bromley, Conservative) Cllr Jill Whitehead (LB Sutton, Liberal Democrat Vice Chair) 4. The above composition of the EV Rapid Charging-Point Sub Group will need to be reviewed at this meeting to take into account any changes to the membership, as a result of the recent London local elections that were held on 3 May 2018. Recommendations Review the membership of the EV Rapid Charging-Point Sub Group for the municipal year for 2018/19; and Note the report and approve the EV Rapid Charging-Point Terms of Reference at Appendix A.

Flood risk management in England is primarily managed through a six-year capital investment programme, running from April 2015 until March 2021. This report gives TEC its annual update from the Thames Regional Flood and Coastal Committee (Thames RFCC) and explains the background to flood risk management in London. In collaboration with the Environment Agency (EA), this report presents a business case, on behalf of Thames RFCC for an increase in locally- raised levy (1.99 percent) to invest in flood risk management schemes across the Thames catchment.,. Recommendations Members are asked to; • note and discuss the report; • suggest potential projects to be included in the long list for the next six year programme; • provide a steer to the TEC members who sit on the Thames RFCC regarding a levy increase of 1.99 per cent for 2019/20. Flooding Investment in London London Councils’ TEC – 14 June 2018 Item 12, Page 1 Background 1. This report follows on from the last report TEC received, in October 2017, highlighting boroughs flood risk management projects, sustainable drainage and sub-regional flood partnerships projects. 2. There are several sources of flooding, including from rivers, the sea, groundwater, overwhelmed drains and sewers. In urban areas, heavy rainfall can lead to surface water flooding, as the water cannot drain away quickly in built up areas. The primary piece of legislation that provides the drivers for flood risk management in England is the Flood and Water Management Act (2010). The success in managing flood risk relies on Local Authorities, Water Companies, the Environment Agency and other organisations working together to support vulnerable/flood risk communities. In London’s case, the Thames Regional Flood and Coastal Committee (RFCC), help bring together these partners across the Thames catchment, and make it possible to manage potential flood risks. 3. The Flood and Water Management Act (2010) created the role of Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs). Every London borough is a LLFA and its duties are to: • Develop and publish a local flood risk management strategy • Investigate flooding incidents • Establish and maintain a register of structures and features which are likely to have an effect on a flood risk in its area. 4. The Thames RFCC is one of 12 regional committees established by the Environment Agency under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, which implemented the recommendations of the Pitt Review: Lessons learned from the 2007 floods. It engenders partnership working by bringing together risk management authorities alongside independent members who have a specific interest in flood risk management. Its purpose, as set out by the Environment Minister, is: • to ensure there are coherent plans for identifying, managing and communicating flood risks across catchments • to encourage efficient, targeted and risk-based investment that represents value for money and benefits for local communities • to provide a link between the Environment Agency, local authorities, other risk management authorities, and other relevant bodies to engender mutual understanding of flood and coastal erosion risks in its area 5. There are three sources of funding for capital projects: i) Grant in Aid provided by the government; ii) Local levy which is paid by local authorities on an annual basis; and iii) Third party contributions, usually secured from beneficiaries of the scheme, which could include water companies, businesses or funding from section 106 agreements following planning obligations of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Flooding Investment in London London Councils’ TEC – 14 June 2018 Item 12, Page 2 6. HM Treasury has made £2.5 billion of Grant in Aid available for this six-year programme nationally, which is overseen by Defra and managed by the Environment Agency. The 12 Regional Flood and Coastal Committees (RFCC) provide advice on the prioritisation of projects and schemes that reduce the risk to flooding, ensuring local authorities’ views are taken into account.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative
    Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative WQR0011 Written evidence submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative 1. The Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative is based in the Colne Valley, Hertfordshire and represents fishery and conservation interests in the waterscapes of the River Colne, Mimmshall Brook, Upper Colne, Ellen Brook, R Ver, R Bulbourne, R Gade, R Chess, R Misbourne, Shires Ditch, Alder Bourne, Pymmes Brook, R Brent or Crane, Frays River, R Pinn, Bigley Ditch, Poyle Channel, Colne Brook, Wraysbury River, Bonehead Ditch, Duke of Northumberland’s River, Longford River, R Ash and the many lakes which hold water in the lands surrounding the rivers. 2. The rivers to the west of the catchment are all important chalk streams draining the Chilterns. The same chalk aquifer provides much of the water for consumption to Affinity Water, the supply company, and to Thames Water which has responsibility for waste water and sewage. 3. The Grand Union Canal runs into and out of the rivers Bulbourne, Gade and Colne and the whole system is a tributary of the River Thames. 4. Membership of the Consultative is open and presently it represents about forty angling clubs with local water holdings with a combined individual membership in the regions of 50,000. Many Londoners use the Colne Valley as their local wild place for angling, walking, sailing, boating, running and cycling with good communication links to and from the city. 5. The Consultative works in partnership with many stakeholders; the individual river groups, Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, London Wildlife Trust, Colne Valley Regional Park, The Environment Agency, TW and AW, Angling Trust, Fish Legal, Wild Trout Trust and many others.

  • Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Character Assessment
    LCT C: Urban Valley Floor with Marshlands SPA, which provides a nationally important habitat for overwintering birds. Cultural Influences 4.64 The low-lying land of rich alluvial deposits supported a system of grazing, referred to as the Lammas system5 from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the C19th. Grazing rights on the marshes were extinguished by the early C20th and a substantial proportion of the marshlands, with the exception of Walthamstow Marshes, were then modified by industrial activities and landfill, including the dumping of bomb rubble after WW2. In the 1950 and 60s the construction of flood relief channels ended the periodic inundation of the marshlands. 4.65 Communication routes through the valley floor proliferated over the C20th, including pylons, roads and railway lines mounted on embankments, but residential and industrial development remains largely confined to the margins. 4.66 Public access and recreation now characterises much of the marshlands, with some areas managed as nature reserves. However substantial infrastructure, such as the railway lines and flood relief channels and adjacent industrial development, means access through and into the marshes from surrounding urban areas is often severed. The tow-path following the River Lee Navigation provides a continuous link along the valley for visitors to enjoy the landscape. 5 A system of grazing whereby cattle was grazed only after the cutting and collection of hay Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 85 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 86 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Occasional long views out to wooded valley sides between Residential properties overlooking the southern area across the riverside vegetation.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.

The allocation of central Government funding to the projects is based on Defra Policy. £180m of Flood Defence Grant in Aid (FD GiA) investment planned in the Thames Estuary to maintain the World Class standard of protection for London from tidal flooding. £77m of FD GiA investment within London in the next six years to directly protect 10,000 properties from tidal flooding £36m of FD GiA investment planned to reduce the risk of river and surface water flooding to 6,800 properties in London At least £25m of contributions are required to unlock all of this investment over the next six years. Levy provides a mechanism for local authorities to pool resources to achieve this. The return on the investment in flood risk management is high. Within Thames the average benefit to cost ratio’s for schemes within the six year investment programme are; Protecting London from tidal flooding: 117:1 Reducing the risk from river flooding: 10:1 Reducing the risk from surface water flooding: 7:1 Levy The levy is used only to part-fund capital projects led by either local authorities or the Environment Agency.
