The Committee received a report from the Area Highways Manager.  The AHM highlighted that Members had been consulted on priority 1 salting routes and would be asked their views on priority 2 routes shortly. 

The Committee discussed at length the recent petition for a crossing at Ravenscote school.  A full crossing scheme was subject to a bid for DEFRA funds and a decision on this was awaited.  The Highways report (table 2) included an allocation from the 2019/20 budget for some initial works on the B311 Upper Chobham Road / Old Bisley Road, which included raised tables at the crossing point with traffic calming either side plus ducts for signals once funding for this was acquired.

The area was identified as having parking problems during school pick up/ drop off and this would be passed to the parking enforcement team, who would plan a series of visits.
