Decision:
The Local Committee (Mole Valley) agreed to:
(i) Note the contents of the feasibility study in Annex 1, particularly that the study showed that the provision of a contra-flow cycle lane within Dene Street one-way would not meet the minimum width required by current guidance, and the provision of a substandard contra-flow cycle lane would lead to road safety concerns.
(ii) Note that there is no funding available to widen the existing footway in Dene Street.
And resolved to:
(iii) Authorise the advertisement of a notice in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to implement the one-way working permanently.

To inform the Local Committee of the outcome of the feasibility study into the provision of a contra-flow cycle lane within the Dene Street one-way working, and to seek authority for a way forward.

Discussion highlights:
1. There is only sufficient funding ie £4,000 to make the one way scheme permanent.
2. Officers will keep a scheme to widen the footway, to assist those wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs, on the ITS list for possible funding in the future.
