Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009: Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District Local Flood Risk Management Plan June 2016 Published by: Glasgow City Council Delivering sustainable flood risk management is important for Scotland’s continued economic success and well-being. It is essential that we avoid and reduce the risk of flooding, and prepare and protect ourselves and our communities. This is first local flood risk management plan for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District, describing the actions which will make a real difference to managing the risk of flooding and recovering from any future flood events. The task now for us – local authorities, Scottish Water, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the Scottish Government and all other responsible authorities and public bodies – is to turn our plan into action.
