Surrey volunteers thanked for flood relief efforts

Volunteers who provided vital assistance during the Surrey winter floods have been thanked

Scores of volunteers who worked tirelessly to keep Surrey residents safe during last winter’s floods have been thanked by Surrey’s Lord-Lieutenant Dame Sarah Goad and Surrey County Council Chairman David Munro.

Mr Munro said: “From 4×4 vehicle drivers to those who assisted in relief centres and worked for the Red Cross, all the volunteers did a fantastic job of helping Surrey get back on its feet and it’s a real privilege to be able to offer my heartfelt thanks.

“Our long-term flooding focus is now on prevention, which is why we’re working with Government on plans to protect Surrey residents in future.”
