Sir Michael Pitt was asked by Ministers to conduct an independent review of the flooding emergency that took place in June and July 2007. The Government asked that the process should be both thorough and independent; a fair assessment of what happened and what we might do differently.
Sir Michael Pitt has now launched his final report The Pitt Review: Lessons learned from the 2007 floods. This final report is positive where it can be, but demanding where change is needed.
