Membership is flexible. It will be possible for additional members

particular aspects of river basin planning. Such members can be
co-opted onto the AAG for single meetings, to cover specific agenda
items or for a short period to advise on a particular issue. They
will not be full members and therefore will not determine quorum or
vote.
Meetings and minutes
The Solway AAG meets regularly and provides a mechanism to
support the production of a river basin management plan (RBMP) for
the Scotland river basin district, and its co-ordination with other
plans and programmes.
Future meetings
The date for the next meeting of Solway AAG will be confirmed
soon.
Previous meetings
Agenda, minutes, papers and presentations from past meetings of
Solway AAG are available online.
