Decision details

The Waverley Local Committee agreed that the:

(i)         Measures set out in Tables 1 & 2 of the committee report be carried out, with the dropped kerb improvements carried out when funding is identified.

(ii)        Measures set out in paragraphs 3.3 & 3.6 of this report would be added to the list of possible future highway improvements in Waverley for prioritisation and consideration for future local committee funding.

(iii)       Safer Travel Team would work with the schools to take up more of the road safety education and training activities offered by the county council.

Reasons for decisions:

These proposed highway measures will help improve the road environment to encourage more walking, cycling and scooting to school. The proposals would therefore also help reduce congestion and driver frustration in the immediate area of

these schools. The measures suggested would need to be prioritised alongside suggestions for other highway schemes across Waverley. The recommended school travel plan and road safety education improvements would also help to improve road safety and reduce reliance on the car for the school journey.
