ELDC intends to withdraw from the GDF project. On Page 34 of the document “Community Guidance How we will work with communities in England” it states
“Relevant principal local authorities will receive financial support to participate in the process, so that local taxpayers do not incur any additional financial burden.”
Motion
This council urges the Executive to generate a claim against NWS for all costs that the council has incurred in participating in the GDF project.
The money claimed should be split as follows:
50% to mitigation of risk for the flood defence report.
50% to be split evenly between the parishes in the search area.
