Issue - meetings

The purpose of this report is to recommend a decision as to whether to make the southbound closure of Walnut Tree Close in Guildford permanent, following a period of implementing the proposal as a trial, and the associated review of traffic and air quality data along with resident and stakeholder feedback. The recommendation included in this report is to make the closure permanent. This will return Walnut Tree Close to its original state as a local road providing access to businesses and residents and not as a commuter rat-run route to Guildford Station. Air quality will also be improved with the associated reduction in traffic along Walnut Tree Close.

The Cabinet Member agreed to make the one-way system trial along Walnut Tree Close permanent.
