It was agreed that additional signage along the A323 towards the Onslow P&R would be considered to help direct residents from Normandy and Pirbright. It was also confirmed that the borough council was still looking at two additional P&R in the north and the south of the town, and that consideration was being given to joining up all the public transport routes in Guildford.
