Flood-hit Surrey secures £30,000 funding
An area of Surrey affected by flooding has been
awarded money to improve watercourses and to review flood relief
systems.
Surrey Heath Borough Council secured a £30,000 grant from Defra to study the flooding problems in Chobham and the surrounding areas.
The council will work with landowners to reduce the flow of water through Chobham.
It will have access to the grant from the new financial year.
Councillor Chris Rowbotham said: "Flooding is a recurring issue in Chobham and affects a good number of it's businesses and residents.
"This review aims to identify these problems and find a solution that will benefit everyone."
Good news for all of us living and working in the area I'd say. Perhaps I can put my wellies away for the Winter in future!!
