The Environment Agency, Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council are working together to develop a scheme to reduce flood risk to homes, businesses, and infrastructure in Guildford town centre. The scheme will also improve the natural environment and build better connections between Guildford town centre and the River Wey. The Scheme covers Surface Flooding caused by rainfall and Fluvial Flooding caused by the Wey. The Area covered stretches along the Wey from Millbrook to Ladymead and surrounding Town
