Residents have until 3 August to complete a short survey, more information can be found on Your Future Surrey: Surrey LGR Hub.
 Stay water aware during the summer
The Be Water Aware campaign reminds residents of the dangers of open water as warmer weather encourages more people to spend time near rivers and lakes.
While it may be tempting to cool off or relax by the water, especially for young people during school holidays and study leave, open water can be hazardous due to cold temperatures and strong currents, even on warm days.
Parents, carers, and schools are encouraged to talk to children about water safety, emergency responses, and the location of lifesaving equipment. Residents can also help prevent accidents by following water safety advice and taking part in community events organised by the Fire and Rescue Service and RNLI.
