The River Thames Scheme consultation has been launched by Cllr Marisa Heath, Cabinet Member for the Environment at Surrey County Council, and also the Conservative Party Parliamentary Candidate in Dorking and Horley.
On her web site Marisa said:
It is a Nationally Important Infrastructure Project and a big deal with Surrey. We are now starting the formal public consultation which means it is moving forward in the planning process and we need people to engage.
The best thing about the scheme is that there really is something for everyone - yes flood prevention sits at the centre of it but the scope for biodiversity gain, new habitats and conservation as well as sustainable travel routes means it can benefit Surrey more broadly.
Have a look and let the team know your thoughts: https://www.riverthamesscheme.org.uk/
Flooding issues from the River Thames affect a lot of people in our County, so like Marisa, we encourage residents to engage in this consultation.
