Decision details

That the Local Committee (Elmbridge) agreed to:

Recommend that the Cabinet Member should authorise the making of a Cycle Track Order to extend the cycle track along part of the formal pedestrian/cyclist route being created between Weybridge Railway Station (Heath South car park) and the Brooklands Community Park..

Note: if there are any objections, it is recommended that these are resolved if possible by the Area Highway Manager in consultation with the Cabinet Member, and if necessary any unresolved objections are submitted by the Area Highway Manager to the Secretary of State for determining whether the Order can be confirmed or a Local Inquiry is required.

Reasons:  The recommendations have been provided in order for a Cycle Track Order to be made to extend the cycle track along part of the formal pedestrian/cyclist route being created between Weybridge Railway Station (Heath South car park) and the Brooklands Community Park. This will best guarantee that both pedestrians and cyclists can use the route in the future and has been considered as a better option than providing rights to cyclists through a permissive agreement. Construction works are in delivery to provide a high quality facility in this location for pedestrians and cyclists.
