The petitioner presented their petition clarified that residents would like cost effective zebra crossings at two sites and further ask that three sites be considered in more detail.

The Area Highways Manager noted that crossings in Windlesham were one of many issues in the area and that the Parish Council were looking at traffic, speeding zones and parking / parking enforcement.  Windlesham generally had low speeds and good sightlines.  The improvements / enhancements required a holistic approach and work was ongoing. 

Recommendations:

As a result of discussion, a revised recommendation was proposed by Cllr Goodman and seconded by Cllr Chapman and unanimously agreed by the Committee.
