Item 5 - Strengthening Local and Collective Resilience: Progress Report (L9/19)

Summary: 

Leaders’ Committee received the report of an independent Peer Challenge, on London’s collective resilience arrangements, in February 2018 and went on to agree that the London Resilience Forum - Local Authorities’ Panel would oversee implementation of the recommendations emerging from the Challenge.
