CHURCH LANE (D33) / WARBURY LANE (D3623) (TWO WAY) 30MPH SPEED LIMIT PETITION

The petition states – “We the undersigned petition Surrey County Council to move the start of the 30mph speed limit in Church Lane back from the existing gateway marker at the entrance to St John the Baptist Church in Church Lane, through the blind bend to the start of Warbury Lane at Hill Place Farm. It is this part of Warbury Lane/Church Lane which attracts the most speeding, accidents and danger. Warbury Lane is one way from Chobham Road direction through the width restrictions. It then becomes two way at the junction with Hill Place Farm. All vehicles accelerate away after the last width restriction in the one way part of Warbury Lane, around the blind bend to be currently faced with a 30mph sign at the church entrance in Church Lane.

The above proposal would contribute to greater road safety for all users and reduce the risk of death and serious injury to drivers, pedestrians, dog walkers and horse riders.”

A report is attached.

The Local Committee received a signed petition by 129 local residents on requesting the Local Committee to extend the current 30mph speed limit on Church Lane from St John the Baptist Church to the start of the one way system from Woking. 

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) deferred any decision to the next meeting, pending on site meetings between Highways and Parish Clerk / Residents.

The report on this issue was discussed in detail and Councillors heard from Jill Biden, Parish Clerk and Greg Hubbard, a local resident who attended the meeting.  An argument was put forward that the signs be moved forward to allow for the blind bend and parked cars.  This was supported by the Ward Councillor.
