In March 2014 Surrey County Council and Reigate and Banstead Borough Council implemented a scheme to reverse the direction of the existing one-way working of the Central Car Park Service Road in Horley. The changes were made by an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order that came into effect on 30th January 2014.  This report seeks a decision on whether to make the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order permanent or to reinstate the existing one-way working arrangement in the Central Car Park Service Road.
