A joint Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council scheme for environmental and pedestrian safety improvements in North Street, Guildford involves footway widening that requires the partial relocation of public parking spaces that are owned by the Borough Council on to land that forms part of the public highway.
The Borough Council have agreed to dedicate the land required for the footway improvement in return for the area of highway land that will become part of the parking spaces being stopped up and transferred to them.
The Cabinet Member is asked to approve entering into an agreement with the Borough Council under section 256 of the Highways Act 1980, whereby the land required for the footway widening will be exchanged for the highway land that is to be used for the relocation of the parking spaces.
