If Rutland's Earthquakes were much stronger, would Rutland County Council Cope? Possibly not


At last night's Audit and risk committee Cllr Edward Baines Conservative questioned
Debbie Mogg about a exercise that was carried out but not reported back to the committee.

Debbie Mogg explained the exercise was a desk bound exercise she believed it had a theme
of flooding.

The end result was the council found the parts did not fit, the council has learnt and
she hoped the council will hold a similar exercise in the near future and hoped
it would be a success.

A bit worrying if your council can't even hold a successful flood management exercise.

I think Rutland County Council has just been lucky they have so far not had to
deal with any type of serious emergency here in Rutland.
