PETITIONS
To receive any petitions in accordance with Standing Order 68. Notice should be given in writing or by email to the Community Partnership and Committee Officer at least 14 days before the meeting.
Alternatively, the petition can be submitted on-line through Surrey County Council’s e-petitions website as long as the minimum number of signatures (30) has been reached 14 days before the meeting.
Two petitions have been received as follows:-
A. "We, the parents, residents and concerned members of this community are urging the Council to assess the lack of road safety measures outside Cordwalles Junior School, Berkshire Road, Camberley. It is becoming increasingly dangerous for our children making their daily journeys to and from school. It is indeed an accident waiting to happen. Therefore we would like the council to implement improved road safety to provide our school children with the safer environment they deserve."
B. We the undersigned petition Surrey County Council to: 'refund parking charges incurred due to inadequate signs' The petition's details read: SHBC have received a windfall that they were not expecting. Several hundred people have been caught out by new parking regulations in Camberley; they were parking in a Permit Holders Only area believing it still to be a 30 minutes area. The changes seem to have been introduced quite properly but had the effect of catching people out in areas where they have always parked. This was because the signs were very small, placed quite high, and looked very similar to the signs they replaced. Now that SCC are improving the signs, which is perhaps an admission, it is time to draw a line and refund people who have been fined during the period between the changes being made and the signs being permanently improved.

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) noted the petitions. A response will be given at the next meeting.
