Issue - meetings

This report seeks approval to make an all year round Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for Byway Open to All Traffic (BOAT) 521 (Ash) (D Road 68) known as Drovers Way.

The Local Committee (Guildford) agreed:

The grounds for making an all year round Traffic Regulation Order as outlined had been met, and an Order should be made for Byway Open to All Traffic 521 (Ash) (D68) to prevent damage to the surface and to facilitate the passage of all other class of traffic on the byway, as shown on Drawing Number 3/1/54/H17 (Annexe 1 of the committee report).

Reason

The committee agreed that the proposal would safeguard the BOAT from further deterioration

The item was presented by the Senior Countryside Access Manager who advised that following approval from the Local Committee in November a Notice of Intention had been published for the statutory period. The results of the consultation were within the committee report; however, since the report had been published two additional emails of support for the implementation of the Traffic Regulation Order had been received. Three local residents, Terina Notz, Sue Johnson and Danny Jermann, had registered to speak on the item and spoke in support of the recommendation and listed their concerns about the impact of vehicular traffic. Local members Councillor Manning and Council Gimson also supported the officer recommendation.
