IMPORTANT NEWS!
The Help Elmbridge Road campaign confirms that the Local Waverley Committee (on 11 December 2015) approved an expenditure of £15,000 for new safety measures for the single track priority road system along Elmbridge Road, Cranleigh.
Surrey County Council Highways have indicated that the new measures should include new signage including a new Vehicle Activated Sign, as well as new bollards and an amended pavement. This should happen in the 2016/2017 financial year.
The funding has come from the infrastructure contribution (Section 106) made by Retirement Villages Ltd as part of their expanded development. This is a good first step and long overdue.
We welcome these new low cost measures and hope that this will bring more clarity to the right of way, succeed in slowing down traffic and reduce the number of incidents on this stretch of road.
This is not the end for the campaign. We need to ensure that the promised safety measures are implemented and that any incidents or accidents continue to be logged.
If you are aware of, or involved in a situation on this stretch of road please email us the details on helpelmbridgeroad@gmail.com or contact us via our Facebook page Facebook page.
Thank you for your continued support.
