The following email has been received from Paul Fishwick, who heads up Surrey's Local Enterprise Partnership:
"The County Council is currently assessing potential Expressions of Interest to the Growth Deal 3 funding recently announced by the Government.
"The Lower Sunbury Residents' Association proposal for a cycle/footbridge over the River Thames is being considered with other projects in this latest round of funding. However, any project that makes the 'short-list' for an Expression of Interest must meet the criteria objectives of the fund, which includes a) within a Growth Town area, b) growth in jobs, c) growth in housing, growth in floor space, d) delivery within the financial period 2018/19-2021/22 e) 'match-funding' (currently 25%) f) fit with Local Plan/borough priorities.
"An evaluation of potential projects for the Expressions of Interest will now take place early in the New Year and I will write to you again when I have further information."
