Members queried the location of the proposed raised tables on North Street and whether the road was going to be re-surfaced.  The Road Safety Manager had highlighted with Guildford Borough colleagues additional safety work to be undertaken as part of any further development of North Street.  The Highways Manager informed members that the intention is to re-surface North Street at the same time as the table is installed.

The Highways Manager updated the Committee that work on Compton Bridge will take place in March 2017 for 3- 4 months and HGV traffic will be diverted leading to lorries coming through Guildford town centre.

Action: Highways Manager to arrange a public meeting on the intended works to Compton Bridge.
