of Surrey’s Flood Risk Management Strategy.
2. Approve the development of new governance arrangements to oversee the
delivery of Surrey’s Local Flood Risk Management Strategy and separate
arrangements for overseeing the delivery of the River Thames Scheme along
with a risk sharing agreement, the detail to be brought to Cabinet for further

Corridor to maximise the opportunities from the River Thames Scheme.
Noted that the sum is “in Principle” only , not firm or earmarked.
That is what happened with RBWM re £54 m ,when it came to confirm they could not as they had spent it on other projects and did not advise their residents.
