To ensure the successful and most efficient delivery of the programme we want to work with partners to maximise 3rd party investment and optimise our investment, in line with DEFRA's flood and coastal resilience partnership funding policy statement. We can't afford to maintain the assets alone and need 3rd party investment to sustain current levels. We also want to deliver integrated flood risk management solutions, including potential habitat creation schemes, that reflect partners' and other parties' aspirations for the riverside. This will require close partnership working between Thurrock, Brentwood, Basildon Councils, the London Borough of Havering as well as ourselves and other key stakeholders as we appraise the options.
