That the Parliament notes proposals for a number of flood defence schemes across Scotland, including in the South Scotland region; considers the impact and pressure caused by climate change on coastal and rural communities; recognises reported public concerns about the design and costs of flood defence projects, and notes the calls for the Scottish Government and local authorities to fully consult with local communities, partners, businesses, organisations and other stakeholders during the appraisal and consenting process.
