WRITTEN PUBLIC QUESTIONS

    • Share this item

    To answer any written questions from residents or businesses within the area in accordance with Standing Order 69.  Notice should be given in writing or by email to the Community Partnership and Committee Officer by 12 noon, four working days before the meeting.

     

    One written question has already been recieved as follows:-

     

    The Hatches path, officially referred to as Bridleway BW19 by the Countryside Access Team, is long overdue maintenance. The path is overgrown on each side and is now a narrow strip of tarmac, much of which is badly potholed. In winter the path is muddy and flooded making it very difficult for pedestrians & cyclists to navigate.

     

    Many people would like to see the path properly tarmacked across the full width of the path (approx 7-9 feet) and treated as a "Shared Use route for Pedestrians & Cyclists". I have started a blog and petition to raise awareness of this, which has 89 signatures to date. I expect more signatures as conditions get worse in the autumn.

    Blog: http://thehatchespath.blogspot.co.uk/

    Petition: http://petitions.surreycc.gov.uk/TheHatches/

     

    I have been in correspondence with Luke Dawson of the Countryside Access Team who has visited the path and confirmed it needs maintenance work carried out. He has requested funds "from a bigger pot" to fund improvement works but was unsuccessful this year. He has investigated interim solutions to fix the worst of the potholes and improve drainage. He also suggested "a scrape of the surface mud to allow the full available width". I noticed this was done recently (by Mon 23rd June) but this has only cleared the existing 4 foot wide path. Potholes still need to be fixed and drainage improved.

     

    So, my question to the committee is whether they can help the Countryside Access Team with funding to upgrade the path properly to a Shared use route for Pedestrians & Cyclists.

     

    My blog has full details of my discussions with the Countryside Access Team and sustrans. I will also update with the committee's feedback. Thank you for your time".

    Minutes:

    Officers of Surrey County Council’s parking team carried out a review of on street parking restrictions within the borough of Surrey Heath and identified changes which would benefit road safety, reduce instances of obstruction and localised congestion.

     

    Members were pleased that they had been involved with and consulted on the review from an early stage and had been able to check details with parish representatives. 

     

    Cllr Goodman accepted that something needed to be done in Bowling Green Road, Chobham but there was no easy solution, so on reflection, the proposed scheme was withdrawn.  He also requested a slight change from 2 hour to 1 hour parking in Updown Hill.

     

    Members discussed Wilton Road, which provided access to the amenity tip and whether restrictions were needed – however this land is owned by SHBC and not the County Council.  Cllr Vivienne Chapman agreed to discuss this further with the Parking Team.

     

    Committee approval was required in order to progress the changes to the stage of ‘formal advertisement’, where the proposed restrictions will be advertised for 28 days and open to comments or objections from members of the public.

    (ii)   Note progress with budget expenditure,        

    (iii)  Note that a further Highways Update will be brought to the next meeting of this Committee,

     

    Minutes:

    The Committee received a tabled report on the progression of all highway related schemes and works.

     

    Members discussed the proposed works on the Toshiba roundabout and raised concerns over potential congestion as a result.  It was noted that the works involved the widening of the road, so the congestion should be kept to a minimum as traffic would remain unimpeded as much as possible.  Councillors would be kept up to date on works and disruptions whenever possible and information would be made available to the public using social media as appropriate.

     

    Thanks were given to the Highways team for their work in the Surrey Heath area, with particular thanks from Cllr Pitt regarding Frimley Green and Canal bridge.

TRO - EXPERIMENTAL SCHEME FOR CAMBERLEY HIGH STREET pdf icon PDF 50 KB

    • Share this item

    In response to a request from Surrey Heath Borough Council and Surrey Police, an Experimental Road Closure Order has previously been introduced for part of Camberley High Street.  This Order has now expired.

    The Order enabled the High Street to be closed at times when the clubs/pubs/restaurants in the High Street attract particularly large numbers of visitors.

    These closures were introduced to help reduce the risk of accidents and incidents of anti-social behaviour and public disturbance.

    During the experimental period a number of people have complained that the closures were implemented unnecessarily early.  In addition, it was found that a small number of businesses have regularly deliveries whilst the closures are in place.

    The Police have reported that the closures have resulted in a reduction in crime and incidents of anti-social behaviour/crimes in the High Street.  Both the Police and Borough Council would like the closures to continue.  However, they agree that the closures should be amended to reflect the issues and concerns identified during the experiment.

    Rather than making the original experimental closure permanent, it is therefore proposed that a further 18 month Experimental Order is introduced.  Under this Order the closures would start later in the evening and would also include an exception to allow access for loading and unloading during the closure times.

    If approved, the effectiveness of the new experiment closures and the comments received in response would be assessed. Subject to the outcome of this assessment the closures may then be made permanent.

    Decision:

    In response to a request from Surrey Heath Borough Council and Surrey Police, an Experimental Road Closure Order had previously been introduced for part of Camberley High Street.  The Order had now expired.

    The Order enabled the High Street to be closed at times when the clubs/pubs/restaurants in the High Street attract particularly large numbers of visitors. The proposed closures restrict access to vehicles along the High Street at a time where pedestrians are vulnerable. It also provides an environment where Surrey Police are able to proactively monitor and intervene in situations to reduce the amount of antisocial behaviour and/or crimes.  Surrey Police have reported that the implementation of previous closures has resulted in a reduction in crimes and incidences of anti-social behaviour in the High Street.

     

    Members discussed the provision of disabled parking bays and the inclusion of restrictions on New Years Eve.

     

    The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed:

    (i)            advertisement of a further Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (for a period of 18 months) to close the section of Camberley High Street between Portesbery Road and St Georges Road (as shown on the plan attached at Annex 1) at the times and dates specified in paragraph 3.4 of the report. The Order will include an exception for vehicles for the purpose of loading and/or unloading.

    (ii)           any comments received during the period of the experimental closure should be considered by the Area Team Manager for Highways in consultation with the Divisional Member and Chairman (consideration should also be given to Disabled Parking and the inclusion of NYE); and 

    (iii)          to approve the advertisement of a Traffic Regulation Order to make the closures permanent if no irresolvable objections are received in response to the experimental closure; and that this issue only be returned to Committee if any objections prove insurmountable.

PORTSMOUTH ROAD CYCLE LANE - AGREEMENT TO CHANGE THE SEGREGATED CYCLE LANE TO A SHARED FOOTWAY pdf icon PDF 42 KB

    • Share this item

    The Surrey Heath Local Committee’s ITS scheme for 2014/15 is the widening of the Portsmouth Road between Toshiba Roundabout and the Frimley Park Hospital roundabout.

    In order to create an additional lane, part of the existing cycle/footway needs to be mover over to allow the road to be widened.

    The Available space for the relocated cycle/footway will result in a facility that is narrower than existing and too narrow to allow it to remain as a segregated facility. A cycle/footway can remain as a shared (as opposed to a segregated) facility.

ROW BRIDLEWAY 19 pdf icon PDF 65 KB

    Members will recall approving the publishing of an Intention to make a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), under section 1 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, to prohibit horse use on Public Bridleway No. 19, Camberley and Frimley. No objections were received within the statutory advertising period. Members are asked to consider whether the legal and policy criteria for making the Order still apply.

     

    It is recommended that a TRO be made for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road, or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    Officers do not have delegated powers to make TROs. Officers support the decision to make the TRO to enable Network Rail to make safety improvements at the level crossing that they would be unable to do with horse use. The continuation of the route in Hampshire already has a TRO on it.

    Members discussed the usage of the bridleway and safety considerations.  It was noted that no public objections to the advertisement of the TRO had been received within the statutory period. A recorded vote was held with 6 in favour, 5 against and 1 abstention.

    The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed that the grounds for making a Traffic Regulation Order as outlined were met and an Order should be made for Public Bridleway No. 19 (Camberley & Frimley) to prohibit equestrian use under s1(a) of the Road Traffic Regulation Order 1984 for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road, or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising, as shown on Drawing Number 3/1/84/H8 (Annexe 1).       

     

    Minutes:

    Officers do not have delegated powers to make TROs. Officers supported the decision to make the TRO to enable Network Rail to make safety improvements at the level crossing that they would be unable to do with horse use. The continuation of the route in Hampshire already had a TRO on it.

    The Committee were asked to consider whether a Traffic Regulation Order should be imposed on bridleway 19 for the purpose of “avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising”.  Members were asked to consider the Council’s duty under Section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, “to conduct an adequate balancing exercise to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of traffic”.  In essence they needed to decide whether prohibiting equestrian access would improve safety for other users.

    Gail Brownrigg attended and raised the following points:- A bridleway is a route which pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders have a right to use.  Surrey has a large number of bridleways, which enable riders to get off busy and dangerous roads, but this network is unfortunately fragmented and often lacking in connectivity.  This bridleway gives access to the long-distance Blackwater Valley Path which does not currently have equestrian rights along its full length, but which may have the potential for upgrading in the future.  The nearest alternative crossing from Surrey into Hampshire is at Tongham seven miles away.  Network rail would like to install miniature stop lights with a red light and a beeping signal giving 20 seconds warning when a train is approaching.  This is in use at Farnham North station and seems to be very effective.  For equestrian use, the guidance states that minimum warning period should be 40 seconds.  Network Rail are concerned that users would become accustomed to the fact that the crossing is closed for a longer time, and this might influence their decision to cross before the train arrives.  There are however, telephones on each side of the crossing, to enable riders to check with the signalman that it is safe to cross and to confirm to him their safe arrival on the other side.  This request is entered in a log book, where the last record dates to 2009, leading to the assumption that the crossing has not been used by riders since then.  This is, however, incorrect.  A resident living near the crossing says it was in regular use by riders until about three years ago, and a local rider confirms that she last used the crossing in November 2013.  This indicates that riders have not been using the telephone to contact the signalman, but were using their own judgement to cross.  Trains sound their horns before reaching the bend between 7 am and 11 pm, so there is warning of their approach before they are visible.  Incomplete evidence for past use cannot be taken a reliable guide to future need.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE: LOCAL RE-COMMISSIONING FOR 2015 - 2020 pdf icon PDF 68 KB

    • Share this item

    Services for Young People (SYP) currently operates nine commissions which contribute towards the overall goal of full participation in education, training or employment with training for young people to age 19 and to age 25 for those with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). These commissions are delivered through in-house services and external providers, where contracts were let generally for a 3 year period, all expiring in 2015.

     

    This paper explores increased delegation of decision-making in relation to local ‘early help’ for young people, within the context of re-commissioning for 2015 to 2020.

     

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    The report outlined plans to build on the successes of Services for Young People and proposed greater integration and working together for the commissioning of the Local Prevention Framework (LPF), Centre Based Youth Work (CBYW) and potentially other more integrated commissioning with partners such as Surrey Heath Borough Council, Public Health, Surrey Police and Active Surrey. It explained how Services for Young People planned to achieve its overall goal of employability for all young people.

     

    The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed;

     

    (i)    To support increased delegation of decision-making to include the current Centre Based Youth Work so that it can be re-commissioned alongside the current Local Prevention Framework.

    (ii)   That local priorities for the newly delegated commissions within Services for Young People will be decided by the Surrey Heath Local Committee informed by the work of the constituted Youth Task Group.

    (iii)  To reconstitute Surrey Heath Youth Task Group (See Item 17)
