Members queried why there was a delay in a permanent waiting area at Onslow Park and Ride being introduced and the site being handed over from Surrey University.  Officers informed Members that the tender for the waiting room would be returned to them by 4 July and construction should be completed by Christmas 2016.  Surrey University will sign the lease with Guildford Borough Council for the waiting room when they see the contract to build the waiting room and there is a document ready to be signed by the University.

Members stated that it was imperative to have Park and Ride signs on the A3.

Actions: CPCO to follow progress on these actions through the Decision Tracker.
